Some programs will let you use your Certiport profile information to populate and submit for each registration account, which will then sync all future certification data with them.

     4. Purchase an Exam Voucher

Northern Essex Community College, a Certiport Authorized Testing Center (CATC) requires the candidate to purchase a voucher. You may purchase a voucher by following these instructions:

• • • • • Go to www.certiport.com
        • Log in as a Test Candidate.
        • From the My Certiport page mouse over the Take an Exam button and select Purchase Exam.
        • Use Discount Code HEDMA25D-3

Voucher policies

• • • • • Voucher prices may vary by CATC (Certiport Authorized Testing Center).
        • Proctor and/or other testing center fees may apply. Ensure you have discussed all applicable fees with the testing center before sitting for the exam.
        • CATCs handle the scheduling of all exams. Contact your desired testing center to schedule your exam.
        • All Certiport exam programs are not necessarily available at every CATC. Ensure your chosen testing center is set up and prepared to deliver your desired exam prior to scheduling.
        • Once you have purchased your voucher, you may assign it to yourself, which prevents the voucher from being redeemed by anyone other than the test candidate to whom it was assigned.
        • All vouchers must be used by their expiration dates (in CT: Central Time) without exception and cannot be extended for any reason. All vouchers and retake vouchers expire at 11:59:59 P.M. CT on the day of the expiration date.
        • Each alpha-numeric code may be used to take one exam.
        • Once the exam begins, the voucher becomes void and cannot be reused or reassigned.
        • A voucher is not valid if altered or revised in any way and cannot be redeemed for cash, credit, or a refund.
        • Some vouchers are also available with a retake option. Vouchers with retakes are sold separately, and retake codes alone do not exist for purchase.

Wait for your confirmation email to be received prior to coming to a test session.  Please allow 3-5 business days for processing and scheduling. Be sure to check your spam/junk folder.

All examinees who need to reschedule or who do not arrive for their scheduled exam must complete the Certiport Testing Request Form and pay the administration fee to reserve a seat. If you have purchased your voucher, you would not need to complete that step again.

Be sure to be aware of the date by which you need to take your exam.
