Felony Information Checklist
AMT will not review doumentation prior to an application being submitted.
Please be sure to complete all fields and submit in a timely fashion.
General Information
Even if a candidate meets certification eligibility criteria, AMT may determine that certain types of felony convictions in an applicant's background may preclude an applicant from sitting for an AMT certification examination. Even if an applicant with one or more felony convictions in his or her record is permitted to take the examination and passes it and becomes certified, some healthcare employers may choose not to hire any individual who has been convicted of a felony, even if he or she is certified. Certification is not a guarantee of employment.
Review of Documentation
All submissions must be accompanied by the following documentation: copies of all available supporting documentation, specifically explaining the date of the felony, nature of the felony, a personal statement describing the felony and events that took place, and any available court documents. All materials must be provided to AMT in a single submission. Incomplete submissions will not be processed.
Each application is reviewed carefully on a case-by-case basis by the AMT Office before a determination is made. AMT will render a decision and notify applicants within 30 days of receiving the application. If deemed ineligible to sit for an AMT certifying examination , the applicant may appeal the decision.
