Texas Chiropractic College FCLB PACE Provider 34015544 approval logo

CCCA program approved by the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards · PACE Provider #34015544 · Instant per-course certificates

The chiropractic assistant is the most patient-facing person in the practice — and the CCCA is the credential that formalizes their clinical training. Approved by the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards, the Certified Chiropractic Clinical Assistant program equips assistants to support chiropractic therapies safely and expertly in the clinical setting: uniform training that improves clinical outcomes, reduces injuries from improperly applied therapies, and can satisfy the credentialing expectations of insurers and accreditors. The program's focus is clinical — X-ray procedures and front-office duties are outside its scope.

Every course is authored and taught by Monte Horne, DC — founder of CCEDseminars, faculty at Texas Chiropractic College's Post Graduate Studies Division, with 39+ years of clinical practice. A growing number of states license or regulate chiropractic assistants; the CCCA positions your practice ahead of that curve.

How the CCCA Program Works

4 · Exam, clinical hours & certification. Sit the proctored online certification exam (CCEDseminars can proctor), then demonstrate 300 supervised clinical hours before your first renewal. Once finished, notify our team to receive your frame-ready CCCA certificate following program audit — with the official CCCA/FCLB photo ID badge to follow.

The Four Learning Areas of the CCCA

Clinical Foundations

Patient safety, infection control, and OSHA essentials — plus the anatomy, physiology, and healthcare terminology that make clinical conversation precise. Anchored by CA 101–103 and CA 106.

Therapeutic Modalities

Understanding assistant scope and contraindications — safe, appropriate assistance with treatment principles and procedures, common duties, and emergency response. Anchored by CA 105, 107, and 110.

Office Excellence

Documentation, coding, and patient communication workflows — plus the professional boundaries and ethics that hold up under scrutiny. Anchored by CA 104, 108, and 109.

Exam Readiness

Comprehensive study planning and practice questions woven through the curriculum — the coursework prepares you directly for the proctored CCCA certification exam.

Your CCCA Faculty

Monte Horne, DC — founder and CE Program Director of CCEDseminars and faculty at Texas Chiropractic College's Post Graduate Studies Division — authors and teaches all ten CCCA courses, drawing on 39+ years of clinical practice. The doctor who built the program teaches the program: one consistent clinical standard from CA 101 to CA 110.

Accommodations are available for documented special needs.

How much does the CCCA program cost?

Why does a chiropractic assistant need formal certification?

Uniform clinical training improves patient safety and treatment outcomes, and reduces injuries from improperly applied therapies. A CCCA credential can also satisfy credentialing expectations from insurers and accreditors, since healthcare providers with patient contact are often required to be credentialed. A growing number of states license or regulate chiropractic assistants — formal certification positions your practice ahead of that curve.
