Exam Registration and Payment
Benefits
All Candidates must read the Exam Instructions and Guidelines prior to scheduling an exam. Failure to adhere to these guidelines could result in AAAE invalidating your exam.
All certification exams are now being administered online via a remote testing service. Two weeks' notice is required for all exams. You will need your six digit AAAE ID to schedule your exam, which you can find by logging in to your account and clicking on "My Account." You will be taken to your profile where you can find your ID.
To pay for your retake or first exam attempt (if required), click on the appropriate link below. If you are not sure if you need to pay an exam fee, contact training@aaae.org before scheduling your exam.
