2025 Certification Program

Since 1981, EBAA has administered the Certification exam and this process is a long-standing, well-respected program ensuring that eye bank technicians are well-versed in the standards and regulations of eye banking.

EBAA held the Certification Exam in April and October. Below are the names of the candidates who passed the exam for both the Spring and Fall Cycles. Those with the asterisks (*) beside their name scored the highest within their cycle.

Congratulations to everyone who passed the exam this year and are now Certified Eye Banker – Technicals (CEBTs)!

And special congratulations to the applicants that passed the Certification Exam during the Fall Cycle and became the first Certified Eye Bankers (CEBs)!
