Plain-language standards statement

Accurate about what TTI provides and what it does not provide.

CPR course disclosureTTI uses current American Red Cross guidance as an instructional reference. This is not an American Red Cross course and does not issue American Red Cross certification.

AMT review disclosureTTI provides independent examination review. American Medical Technologists determines candidate eligibility, examination requirements, and certification. TTI is not AMT and does not issue AMT credentials.

Institutional disclosureTTI provides independent tutoring and examination review for candidates who have already completed their qualifying educational program. TTI does not provide initial occupational education or clinical training, determine examination eligibility, issue certification or licensure, offer college credit, confer academic degrees, or participate in federal student aid.
