SIMPLIFYING THE EXAM PROCESS

We have made the exam process easy, accessible, and affordable for our applicants. We only hold an exam when our agencies are hiring. Applicants can expect to see 1-2 exam windows per year. The exam is $33 per applicant, per attempt. That cost includes sharing your score with all of the agencies our organization represents. Our exam is 100% online, using state of the art proctoring tools – access to which is also included in your exam fee.
