The Four-Step Graduation Audit

Every WMTC student completes a graduation audit before their certificate is issued. The four steps below apply to all programs — some steps may not apply depending on your program format.

1

Online Theory Completion

Complete all required online coursework through the WMTC learning platform. Your progress is tracked automatically — all modules must be marked complete before your graduation audit can begin.

2

Skills Demonstration

For hybrid programs (CCMA, EKG Technician, Pharmacy Technician), you must complete your in-person hands-on lab and, where required, CPR/BLS certification before graduation clearance is issued.

National Exam Scheduled

Schedule your NHA national certification exam through the NHA portal. Your exam date must be confirmed and on record before your graduation audit is finalized.

NHA exam voucher is included in your program tuition

Externship Completion

Complete all required externship hours at an approved clinical or pharmacy site. Your externship supervisor will confirm your hours, and WMTC staff will verify completion in your record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Graduation FAQs

All graduation requests must be submitted through the Student Portal.

Log in to your Student Portal and navigate to the Graduation tab to submit your request and track your audit progress in real time. If you need assistance applying for graduation, please contact the school.

When should I submit my graduation request?

Submit your graduation request once you have completed — or are very close to completing — all four audit requirements: online theory, skills demonstration, national exam scheduling, and externship hours. Graduation audits must be requested through your Student Portal. You can submit early and our team will track your progress.

What happens after I submit my graduation request?

Our admissions and program team will review your record and begin the graduation audit. You will receive updates through your Student Portal as each clearance step is signed off. Once all four areas are cleared, your certificate of completion will be issued.

Do all programs require an externship?

Externship is required for CCMA Hybrid, EKG Technician Hybrid, and Pharmacy Technician Hybrid programs. Online-only programs (EKG Online, Medical Billing & Coding, Medical Office Assistant, Front Office Medical Assistant) do not require an externship for graduation.

What is the NHA national exam and is it required to graduate?

The NHA (National Healthcareer Association) exam is the national certification exam for your program — CCMA, CET, CPhT, CBCS, or CMAA. Scheduling your exam is a required step in the graduation audit. Passing the exam earns your national credential, which is separate from your WMTC certificate of completion.

Where do I find my graduation application in the portal?

Log in to your Student Portal and navigate to the "Graduation" tab. From there you can submit your graduation request and track the status of each audit step in real time.
