You are about to continue to Webassessor's Exam Status Center where you can complete your Biometrics Profile, download Sentinel Secure, launch the exam, review exam details, and obtain receipts. A separate Webassessor log-in is NOT required to complete these steps. Please review the requirements below so you are prepared before and during the exam. Be aware that certain actions or behaviors will require termination of your test session.

Housing counselors can use the training to obtain the broad level of knowledge required for certification to provide housing counseling services under HUD programs.

The fifteen training modules provide opportunities to learn, practice, and explore six areas of content.

In addition to the training materials, a practice exam is available to help prepare for and pass the HUD Housing Counselor Certification Exam. Developed to meet the same knowledge and skills proficiencies as the certification exam, the practice exam is offered in a format similar to the certification exam and poses similar questions, but does not replicate any questions from the certification exam. 

There is no cost for the practice exam, and you are not required to be a housing counselor or be employed by a housing counseling agency to take it.

To prepare for the Certification Exam, candidates can access training materials, choosing from study methods including an interactive online training course and a downloadable Study Guide, and take a practice exam. The testing methodology for the Certification Exam will include options to take the exam online or in person. Both options will be proctored.
