Examination Dates for Initial Certification

The 2012 examination will be administered at 200 Pearson VUE Professional Testing Centers across the United States. In addition, select international sites will also be available. In order to accommodate our candidates and to avoid problems with lack of seats at testing centers, the examination is offered over a two week period from October 1 to October 12, 2012. The online application will open on March 1, 2012 and applications need to be completed by June 1, 2012 to avoid late charges.
