Important: State and provincial rules vary. Confirm Certified Chiropractic Assistant requirements with your chiropractic regulatory board before enrolling.
The CCEDseminars CCCA curriculum delivers a full 24 hours of online chiropractic assistant courses that align with expectations for the Certified Chiropractic Clinical Assistant credential.
How reporting works:
Some jurisdictions may cap online hours or require additional in-person training. Check your board’s rules before relying solely on online education.
Our Certified Chiropractic Assistant curriculum is mapped to key domains tested on the national CCCA exam: foundational knowledge, patient safety, documentation, ethics, and professional conduct.
If your state already recognizes chiropractic clinical assistants or Certified Chiropractic Therapy Assistants, this program can help you:
Some experienced assistants with 2,000+ hours of supervised clinical work may qualify for alternate pathways that emphasize exam readiness instead of full coursework. Our team can help you select the best combination of chiropractic assistant courses and bundles for your background.
The CCEDseminars Certified Chiropractic Assistant program is flexible so you can complete your CCCA education around work and family responsibilities.
If you already have substantial hands-on experience in a chiropractic office, you may not need a full 24 hours of instruction to feel exam-ready.
After earning your CCCA credential, you will need continuing education to maintain your status. CCEDseminars offers:
In many jurisdictions, becoming a Certified Chiropractic Assistant or Certified Chiropractic Clinical Assistant (CCCA) requires you to be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma or equivalent, complete an approved education program such as the CCEDseminars CCCA curriculum, and pass a standardized national exam. Some assistants qualify through supervised experience plus a shorter course. Your state or provincial board lists the exact requirements.
If you are brand new, a structured Certified Chiropractic Assistant program is the fastest way to learn the language, safety procedures, and clinical workflows of a chiropractic office. Many clinics hire entry-level staff and then enroll them in the CCCA pathway. With CCEDseminars, you can complete your 24 hours of foundational coursework online, begin supervised clinical training in a clinic, and then sit for the CCCA exam once you meet eligibility criteria.
Many find that becoming a Certified Chiropractic Assistant is a rewarding career step. You work directly with patients, learn clinical skills, and play a key role in the practice’s success. Formal CCCA certification signals to employers that you have standardized training in safety, documentation, and ethics. That can improve your hiring prospects, support raises or promotions, and make you more competitive if you move to another clinic or state.
The path is very achievable with the right preparation. Most candidates are working in a clinic while they study. The Certified Chiropractic Clinical Assistant exam covers terminology, safety, documentation, and ethics. Our program breaks these topics into manageable modules with quizzes, study tips, and practice-style questions so you are not studying alone.
Pay ranges vary by region, scope of duties, and experience. In many markets, chiropractic assistants with formal training or a CCCA credential are more competitive and can justify higher starting pay or faster raises because they bring proven skills in patient safety, clinical procedures, and documentation. While no program can guarantee a specific salary, clinics often view a Certified Chiropractic Assistant as a higher-value team member than an untrained front-desk employee.
No college degree is required for most Certified Chiropractic Assistant programs. Typically, you need to be 18 or older and have a high school diploma or equivalent. The CCCA pathway is designed to be accessible to people who are motivated to learn, enjoy working with patients, and want a defined role in healthcare without committing to a long degree program.
The program includes 24 hours of online chiropractic assistant courses. Many assistants complete the Certified Chiropractic Assistant program in four to eight weeks by scheduling regular study blocks around work. You can move faster if you have previous experience or spread it out longer if your schedule is demanding.
Titles vary by state. In some jurisdictions, the CCCA credential focuses on standardized national competencies, while terms like Certified Chiropractic Therapy Assistant may describe assistants who provide a broader range of supervised physiotherapy services. CCEDseminars emphasizes both safety and clinical skill so that, within your state’s scope, you can function confidently in therapy, front-desk support, or blended roles. Always follow your board’s official scope-of-practice definitions.
CCEDseminars is committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-informed education for chiropractic assistants preparing for the CCCA credential.
