To pay for the exam, I need a credit card. However, neither my agency nor I have one. How can I submit a payment?

We are unable to accept or process purchase orders or send invoices as part of this process. You must use a valid credit card to purchase an exam ticket and sit for the Certification Exam.

Certification Exam - Cost

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.
