While computer testing is gaining popularity, NCC is still committed to giving paper/pencil examinations once a year. 

Paper/pencil testing is done by special test site sponsorship only.  The test date for 2008 is Friday, September 19th.

To establish a special test site the following criteria must be met:

• Requests must be received by NCC no later than June 6, 2008.
• All requests MUST be approved by NCC.
• A minimum of six (6) persons is required.  Any NCC examination counts toward meeting the person minimum (any mix of core, subspecialty or pretest candidates).
• Special test sites must provide a testing facility at no charge to NCC.  The testing facility MUST accommodate seating each test taker every other seat.
• Special test sites must provide proctors at no charge to NCC.  There is a 2 proctor minimum with 1 additional proctor for each 25 test takers.
• All examination applications MUST be sent to NCC by the stated filing deadline in a group in one envelope.
• Each application MUST be submitted with individual exam fee payments (check or credit card).  NO group payments will be accepted.
• All policies and deadlines apply to special site candidates.  Incomplete applications will be returned and may result in candidates not being allowed to test.
