Certification Exam - Online Exam Availability

Dear Counselor,

As the compliance deadline approaches, the availability of online exam slots will grow increasingly limited. What you see in the registration system regarding availability is accurate. However, there may be availability at a test center near you. 

To check availability at a test center, select an Onsite Proctored exam from the registration menu and select each test center in your search results to view the available exam slots.
