Examination Fees

Application Fee $225 (non-refundable)

Candidates pay the application fee once per calendar year, regardless of the number of examinations. For example, if a candidate registers for both Spring and Fall examinations (within the same calendar year), the fee is paid once in the Spring.

Starting in September 2020, In-training examination candidates will be able to use their passing score for qualification purposes upon payment of the Board Qualification fee.
