Our online exams
Participants have the possibility of writing their exam at any time (24/7) for nine (9) months, following the registration date. Please refer to MyCCPE to check your end date (last possible exam date). Although the end date indicated in the portal is a Saturday, it reflects the fact that you have until Friday 11:59 PM to write your exam. The portal will not give you access after midnight or 00:00 hour. Technical support is given Monday to Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM Eastern time. The number to call for assistance while taking the online exam is: 1-888-333-8362. Important Note : Please be advised that if you failed a final exam, you will not qualify for the annual gold award promotion. This measure is more equitable.
