NOVEMBER 15 IS THE FINAL APPLICATION DEADLINE DATE FOR THE LAST PAPER-AND-PENCIL CRC EXAM!!
The April 26, 2008 certification exam (November 15, 2007 application deadline) will be the last paper-and-pencil administration. Those who wish to take the CRC exam in paper-and-pencil format must apply by the November 15, 2007 application deadline. Visit CRCC's website at www.crccertification.com to access the CRC Certification Guide and Application.
All future exams will be administered in electronic format...
CRCC is partnering with Prometric to deliver the certification examinations electronically starting with the fall 2008 examination cycle. There are many benefits to computer-based testing, including:
- More flexibility in site locations. Only 65 exam sites have been avilable whereas there will be over 300 locations nationwide beginning fall 2008.
- More opportunities to apply. There will be three opportunities annually to apply and sit for the exam.
- More flexibility in choosing when to take the exam. Rather than being required to take the exam on a particular date and time, examinees will have an array of options over the course of an eight-day window.
- Shorter exam. Prometric has demonstrated that the exam can be shortened without sacrificing examination reliability and validity. The current 6-hour exam will be reduced to 3 hours.
- Faster results. Rather than waiting two months for scores, results will be available approximately three weeks following the exam.
Streamlining the application process...
With the ability to offer exams three times per year, CRCC will also streamline the application process. The new application (available in February 2008) will contain all forms required for certification allowing applicants to submit a complete application package at the time they apply.
Also, rather than requiring a separate application and examination fee, only one fee will be submitted for the entire certification process. A partial refund for those found not eligible to sit for the exam will be provided.
This will greatly reduce the steps and challenges applicants have reported in the past in meeting deadlines and obtaining their employment documentation and other verifications. More improvements to the process are anticipated and will be announced in February.
If you have questions or need additional information, visit the CRCC website at www.crccertification.com or email us at info@crccertification.com. Feel free to share this information with those who may be interested.
CRCC takes pride in continually offering a valid and reliable certification examination and is likewise proud to provide enhanced services to candidates through computer-based testing and a streamlined application process.
