COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation:

Testing candidates: Pearson VUE testing centers have made adjustments to keep candidates safe and healthy, adjustments that also affect the centers' capacity, which means you should purchase and schedule your exam as soon as possible. Please note, as it is currently difficult to obtain a reservation, identify multiple testing center locations at which you can sit for your exam, and schedule far in advance to better secure a reservation at the location of choice.

Check our COVID-19 Update Page to look for testing availability and review the health and safety measures required for testing. Please check out our FAQs.
