HBOTCertification.com provides National Hyperbaric Safety Association training.
We bring clinicians, technicians, and facility teams together to learn how hyperbaric science connects to the work they do every day. Our HCC and HCT courses combine structured instruction, practical chamber experience, and assessment.
Our focus is the healthcare setting: the person inside the chamber, the operator at the controls, and the team responsible for a safe environment.
Choose training that fits your responsibilities: clinical care, hands-on chamber operation, or online clinic safety leadership.
HCC • IN PERSON
Hyperbaric Certified Clinician
For clinicians and prescribers building their understanding of hyperbaric science and clinical decision-making. State regulations and your professional scope may affect which course is appropriate for you.
NHSA membership and board fees are separate from the listed course tuition. Contact our team to confirm eligibility, current fees, and the right course for your role. Training does not expand professional licensure or scope of practice.
EARLY REGISTRATIONPlan ahead. Save up to $250 on tuition.
Complete HCC or HCT registration at least 30 days before your course begins. Ask Hannah about your course and available discount.
A safe hyperbaric environment depends on the habits of the people running it. Learn how to recognize risks, prepare deliberately, communicate clearly, and respond as a team.
01 / PREVENT
Fire and oxygen safety
Learn why oxygen exposure changes fire risk, how ignition sources enter the environment, and why chamber entry checks matter. Our training emphasizes a strict no-electronics-in-the-chamber policy.
02 / PREPARE
Patient and chamber preparation
Work through preparation, prohibited-item screening, equipment checks, communication, and documentation before a session begins.
03 / OBSERVE
Monitoring and recognition
Build awareness of pressure-related concerns, oxygen exposure, patient communication, and the importance of promptly escalating concerns to the appropriate clinical professional.
04 / RESPOND
Emergency readiness
Discuss team roles, power interruptions, emergency communication, and evacuation planning. Connect emergency preparation to the equipment and procedures used at your facility.
05 / MAINTAIN
Equipment and daily routines
Understand the role of manufacturer instructions, cleaning, maintenance records, pre-use checks, and consistent operating procedures.
06 / LEAD
Facility safety responsibilities
Explore NFPA 99 as a safety reference, the role of the safety director, staff training, and coordination with the authorities responsible for your facility.
Course education supports your safety program. Facility compliance also depends on the equipment, applicable code edition, local requirements, and manufacturer instructions. Read the FDA’s HBOT device safety recommendations ↗

Meet your educator
Clinical experience. A commitment to education.
Alexander Borsand, MD, ABLM
Dr. Borsand brings the perspective of a hyperbaric educator, clinic owner, and patient. His own experience receiving HBOT after a traumatic crush injury helped shape his commitment to hyperbaric education.
As an NHSA trainer, owner of RX-O2 Hyperbaric Clinics, and president of the Arizona Hyperbaric Society, he helps teams connect the science of hyperbarics with the practical work of running a safer facility.
Dr. Borsand does not hold a license to practice medicine and does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. His role in this program is education and training.

What is HBOTCertification.com’s relationship to NHSA?
HBOTCertification.com provides National Hyperbaric Safety Association training. This website helps you explore our courses, review upcoming dates, ask questions, and plan registration. NHSA is the training and certification organization identified in the course information.
What is the difference between HCC and HCT?
Hyperbaric Certified Clinician (HCC) emphasizes hyperbaric science and clinical principles. Hyperbaric Certified Technician (HCT) emphasizes chamber operation, patient preparation, observation, and operational safety. Both in-person courses include classroom and practical learning. Your professional background and intended responsibilities help determine the right path.
Am I eligible for the clinician course?
HCC is designed for clinicians and prescribers. Your state regulations, professional license, and intended responsibilities may affect your course choice. Confirm eligibility before registering. Training does not expand your legal scope of practice.
Can I attend if I am new to hyperbarics?
Contact us with your background and goals. We can help you understand the appropriate course and any prerequisites before you register. Foundational science is connected to practical examples throughout the training.
Is Clinic Safety Director training online?
Yes. Clinic Safety Director Online Training focuses on hyperbaric safety leadership, including fire prevention, facility responsibilities, team procedures, and emergency preparation. HCT provides hands-on technician training; CSD focuses on leading a clinic safety program.
Course experience and certification
How long is the in-person course?
The HCC and HCT courses are listed as 40-hour, four-day programs. Published class times are 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Arizona time. Review your registration instructions for the detailed schedule and attendance requirements.
Will I work with actual hyperbaric chambers?
Yes. The courses combine classroom learning with practical training involving monoplace and multiplace chambers. The focus is understanding equipment, preparation, observation, and safe operating practices.
Is there an examination?
Yes. The course includes quizzes and a certification examination. Ask our team for current assessment, attendance, passing-score, and retesting requirements before you register.
Are CME credits available?
Ask us about the current CME option for your selected course, including the credit provider, eligible professions, credit amount, and any additional fee. Confirm that the credit meets your professional requirements before purchasing.
Does course completion authorize me to practice medicine?
No. Training and certification do not confer medical licensure, expand your legal scope of practice, or replace the clinical oversight required for your role and location.
How do enrolled students access course materials?
Use the access instructions supplied after your registration is approved. If you cannot locate them, call 480-685-9022 or contact the training team through the form below.
Safety and facility training
Why is safety such a large part of the curriculum?
Hyperbaric work combines pressure, oxygen, equipment, and patient care responsibilities. The program emphasizes preparation, fire prevention, observation, communication, emergency readiness, and consistent operating routines.
Do you cover NFPA 99 and facility responsibilities?
The training addresses facility safety principles and NFPA 99 as a reference. Your facility must also consider the adopted code edition, manufacturer instructions, equipment, and requirements established by the applicable authorities. Course completion is not a facility inspection or compliance approval.
Are phones, tablets, or other personal electronics allowed inside the chamber?
Our training emphasizes a strict no-electronics-in-the-chamber policy. Phones, tablets, battery-powered accessories, and other personal electronics stay outside. Follow the training facility’s screening instructions and chamber-entry procedures.
Can you train our team at our own facility?
Yes. Dr. Borsand and his certified hyperbaric training team can come to your facility and provide the course using your own equipment. Submit an on-site inquiry with your location, team size, equipment, and preferred dates so we can discuss logistics and a quote.
