IMPORTANT INFORMATION

There are now two ways to take your CoreCHI™ (“written”) certification exam. As a candidate you have the option to take your exam either in a physical Prometric test center or ONLINE at a location of your choice where you must be in a private room with a closed door and provide a computer with a camera, microphone, and a stable internet connection.

Scheduling your Exam

1. To schedule your exam at a physical test center:

Select the appropriate link on left-hand side of this page to get started.

2. To schedule an online “at-home” exam (remotely proctored):

• You need to have a desktop or laptop (you cannot take the exam on a tablet or phone).
• You need to have a reliable internet connection, wired connection preferred.
• You need to have a web camera and microphone so that a remote proctor can watch you all the time during the exam (the exam is also video recorded).
• You must take the exam in a private, uncluttered room with a closed door.

Before you schedule, you need to confirm your computer meets the technical specifications: click here. If your computer does not pass this check, you cannot schedule the online exam and need to schedule an exam at a physical test center.
