| PM NCP (formerly EPM NCP) | SCT EPM |

EHR Configuration EHR Functionality |
| Document Management NCP (formerly ICS NCP) | ICS | Document Management |
All clients who wish to certify on the current version of the exams should complete them by June 30, 2015. Anyone who has not completed the exams required for certification by that date will need to complete the updated exams in order to earn their certification.
