  2. Complete all 14 required online courses.
  3. Complete the required lessons and learning activities.

  • Purchases the course bundle
  • Owns a courier company
  • Has previous delivery experience
  • Works as an independent contractor
  • Holds a commercial driver’s license
  • Completed unrelated courier training
  • Previously transported healthcare items

Two Ways to Earn the CMCE Credential

Path 1: Enroll in the Complete 14-Course CMCE Program

This is the most direct path for a new learner.

The complete CMCE bundle provides access to:

  • All 12 CMCP professional foundation courses
  • DOT Hazmat Employee and Highway Driver Training
  • Medical Courier Business Builder Training
  • 70 downloadable business templates and resources
  • Applicable assessments
  • Applicable individual course certificates

You do not need to purchase CMCP separately because the CMCE bundle already includes the full CMCP curriculum.

Path 2: Upgrade From CMCP to CMCE

A CMCP graduate must complete the two advanced CMCE courses:

  1. DOT Hazmat Employee and Highway Driver Training
  2. Medical Courier Business Builder Training

Previous CMCP completion does not automatically award CMCE. The learner must enroll in the applicable upgrade option, complete the remaining courses, and satisfy the current CMCE requirements.

Previous Seven-Course Bundle Customers

A learner who previously purchased the seven-course medical courier bundle may be eligible for an upgrade credit.

  • Training documentation
  • Standard operating procedures
  • Incident reports
  • Corrective actions
  • Quality assurance
  • Client retention
