Exam Schedule

Students may sit for the Level I or Level II examination at any of the scheduled testing times and locations.

Once you have completed the online tutorial, you will need to schedule your testing date with the Department. Please register next to the date that you would like to attend. Test locations are all in Indianapolis unless noted. The Department reserves the right to cancel a scheduled test if less than five (5) individuals are confirmed for a particular date. Individuals will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis and a waitlist will be maintained if needed. While there is no cost for the test, please make every effort to cancel at least 48 hours in advance so any waitlisted candidates may be notified of an opening.
