Thank you for contacting Support.

We will escalate your concern with Kryterion if you provide the information below:

- Amount paid
- Date of Payment
- Last four digits of credit card
- Name on credit card if different from your own
- Credit card type (Visa, Master Card, American Express etc....)

Please select the link at the bottom of this message to update this ticket with the requested information and attach the requested screenshot.

The confirmation email you received when you registered for the Certification Exam included the amount you paid for the exam and serves as a purchase receipt.

You may also generate a receipt by logging into HUDHousingCounselors.hud.gov, visiting the Exam Status Center via the Exam Pre-launch page and clicking "Receipts" in the blue header. The receipt will not stipulate payment type.

Dear Counselor,

The "coupon/voucher" field is a standard field for the testing company. HUD does not provide voucher or coupon codes to offset exam costs. You may skip the "Submit" button and select "Check Out" at the bottom of the page to complete your purchase. 

Sincerely

The HUDHousingCounselors.hud.gov Support Team

The certification examination is periodically updated to reflect changes in regulations and program policies. The certification examination will be based on the most recent version of the training content posted in Revision History on www.HUDHousingCounselors.hud.gov. 

Dear Counselor,

The purpose of HUDHousingCounselors.hud.gov is to help counselors prepare for the HUD Housing Counselor Certification Exam and provide access to the exam. After passing the exam and transferring the results to FHA Connection, counselor certification activities shift from HUDHousingCounselors.hud.gov to FHA Connection.

If you need special assistance provided under the Americans with Disabilities Act, you must submit a request for reasonable accommodations prior to scheduling or paying for your certification exam.

Reasonable accommodations are provided to eligible test takers in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Before completing the Reasonable Accommodations Request Form, please review the information below. Requests that do not comply with the guidance below may not be approved. 

Dear Counselor,

There is no limit on how many times you can take the exam. However, the registration system does limit the number of times a candidate can register for the exam. 

If you receive a notice about maximum attempts, please call Support at 210-489-1461. Support will manually unlock the registration system while on the phone with you allowing you to register. Please do not call Support for assistance until you are ready to complete registration and pay for the exam.
