Ticket from Austin Hill - General

Hi,

I'm doing the HUD Counselor Training on the website to increase my knowledge and skills as I'm looking for employment in the housing advice field.

I'm wondering if it would be worth it for me to do the exam. I don't currently work for an agency.

If I pass the exam can I then use that passed exam with the agency to get certified or should I wait to do the exam once I am employed by a HUD approved agency?

Thank you,

Austin H
