The Caller asked how she could take the certification exam. I explained that the Final Rule had not been published and so the exam was not available. She asked if there was a certificate she could get to put forward as evidence when the exam became available and I said no. She wonder then what the training was good for and I explained that when the exam because available it would based on the topics in the training and that those topics were defined by the law to be subjects housing counselors should have a basic competency in.
