WHY GET CERTIFIED?
The one-hour Training & Certification module was conceived to maintain MoCA’s superior validity and was designed for busy medical professionals.
-
Care providers and researchers of all backgrounds will gain applicable knowledge of neuroanatomy and the cognitive domains that MoCA assesses.
-
You will become more confident in administering MoCA and explaining results to patients and families.
-
You will receive a unique MoCA ID number and certificate. Your name and certified status will automatically appear on the tests you administer.
Successful completion of the official Training & Certification is mandatory for anyone administering paper based MoCA tests. We found only 33% of users have acceptable proficiency prior to MoCA Certification, compared to 79% after completing training only once
Training & Certification is now free for students, faculty members, academic researchers and publicly operated healthcare institutions. (Proof of status is required).
Training available in several languages
Are you getting the most out of MoCA?
“The MoCA's training and certification program is simple to go through and assisted me on how to administer and score the MoCA instrument. The instrument looked complex to use for my research, but not anymore after going through the training and certification. ”

“The MoCA training platform was easy to navigate and very informative. Within a short amount of time, I was able to get my MoCA certificate and apply the learned skills in a clinical setting. This is a great way to expand your skills and excel!” ”

“The MoCA training has given me confidence in my ability to administer the assessment and the assurance that the results are reliable, credible and valid. Working with people and doing these assessments is such a private and often threatening experience for the individuals. Knowing that I am certified gives me peace of mind that I am doing the right thing for me and them.”

“I appreciated MoCA’s Training and Certification program because it helped me gain a clearer picture of a patient’s cognitive status and decision making while in the hospital. This information is useful for doctors to make an informed decision for patients discharge”
