Choosing your study materials: FAQ
Which certification exam should I prepare for: CPTC, CCTC, or CTP?
Choose the CPTC if you work as an organ procurement coordinator at an OPO, the CCTC if you are a clinical transplant coordinator at a transplant center, and the CTP if you are an organ preservationist. All three are ABTC exams. Per the ABTC Candidate Handbook (reviewed 2026-10-26), candidates are eligible after a minimum of 12 months as a transplant coordinator or preservationist. Browse CPTC, CCTC, and CTP materials.
Are CPTCexam.com materials aligned with the July 2026 CPTC outline?
Yes. The 2026-edition CPTC study guides and practice questions are written to the CPTC content outline that took effect July 1, 2026. That outline (ABTC Candidate Handbook, reviewed 2026-10-26) has four domains and 150 scored items: Donation Process Support (9), Donor Evaluation and Authorization (41), Donor Management and Optimization (56), and Allocation and Recovery (44). The legacy 2019 guide follows the older outline and is no longer listed in the store. See CPTC Exam Domains 2026.
What is the difference between the study guide and the 400 practice questions?
The study guide teaches the material domain by domain. The 400 practice questions test you on it. Use the 2026 study guide to learn the content. Use the 400 practice questions to find weak areas. The digital bundle includes both.
Should I buy the digital PDF or the spiral-bound print edition?
Choose the digital PDF if you want to start studying right away, or the spiral-bound edition if you like to highlight and write in a physical book. The digital editions are delivered as downloads and are not shipped. The spiral-bound editions are printed and shipped. Compare the digital guide, the spiral guide, and the spiral prep bundle.
Where should I start if I am not sure what to study?
Start with the 150-question CPTC mock exam. Your results show which domains are weakest, and you can then study those domains with the focused guides and 50-question sets.
Is CPTCexam.com affiliated with ABTC?
No. CPTCexam.com is an independent education company. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by ABTC, OPTN, or any OPO. For official exam rules, eligibility, and dates, use the current ABTC Candidate Handbook at abtc.net.
