In some states, executive orders prohibit government agencies and institutions of higher education, respectively, and their officials from mandating face coverings or restricting activities in response to the COVID-19 disaster.
The mandates apply to those state’s universities, but not to private companies. Prometric’s position is to keep the mask requirement, where allowed, to maintain standardization and safety measures across our network as much as possible.
As a private company, Prometric will continue to require everyone who comes to one of the Prometic owned testing centers (that are not connected with state government agencies) to wear an approved face covering for the duration of their time at the location.
Individuals not in compliance with this policy will not be allowed to sit for their scheduled appointment. We will also continue to maintain social distancing protocols in common areas, where barriers are not provided.
If you became certified or recertified in the year 2018 you are due to recertify by 12/31/2024.
CEUs and documentation must be received no later than October 1, 2024 to avoid the $100.00 late fee.
If recertifying by examination, November 2024 is the last testing cycle to recertify by examination.
The deadline to receive applications for the November 2024 testing cycle is September 20, 2024.
Applications RECEIVED AFTER September 21, 2024 through October 22, 2024 must include a $100.00 late filing fee.
Please note that all certification packets are mailed to those who passed the certification examination, 6-8 weeks following the end of the certification cycle you were in.
