The Neonatal Pediatric Transport exam from NCC is built for the whole
transport team. Here’s the format and how the content is weighted.
Exam format
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Questions | 125 (100 scored, 25 unscored) |
| Time | 2 hours |
| Format | Multiple choice, single best answer |
| Type | Multidisciplinary subspecialty certification |
The three content areas
| Area | Weight |
|---|---|
| Transport Core Knowledge | 48% |
| Clinical Knowledge in Neonatal Transport | 26% |
| Clinical Knowledge in Pediatric Transport | 26% |
What’s in each area?
Transport Core Knowledge (48%) is the biggest slice: transport physiology
(altitude and gas laws, stressors of transport), safety, team roles, communication, and
equipment. Neonatal (26%) covers stabilization of the sick newborn —
thermoregulation, glucose, airway, and conditions like prematurity and congenital lesions.
Pediatric (26%) covers the older child — airway sizing, respiratory
failure, shock, trauma, and age-specific assessment.
What this means for studying
Nearly half the exam is core transport knowledge that applies to every patient, so start
there — especially transport physiology, which shows up constantly. Then split the rest
between neonatal and pediatric clinical content.
