Dear Counselor,

There is no limit on how many times you can take the exam.

The fee charged each time an individual takes the certification examination is based on the cost of administering the examination. As announced in the Federal Register Notice dated May 31, 2017, an online proctored exam costs $60 and an in-person proctored exam costs $100. Any changes in pricing will be published in advance in the Federal Register. 

Sincerely,

The HUDHousingCounselors.hud.gov Support Team
