AABP Professional Membership Exam Administration
(Information on this page is tentative as it is a working document in the exam development process. The exam is slated to be implemented in 2012)
The Candidate will make arrangements with a qualified exam invigilator to take the exam. Qualified exam invigilators will be unrelated to the candidate and will not be associated with them in any other way that might be perceived as a conflict of interest. The invigilator will not qualify to sit for this exam once they have invigilated the exam. They must operate professionally under a code of ethics and may include:
- AABP Professional Members who have completed the exam successfully already
- AABP Advisory Board Members
- IAABC Professional Members
- Medical Doctors
- Lawyers
- University / College Professors
- Notary publics
- Veterinarians
If the invigilator requires a fee for this service, it will be the sole responsibility of the candidate to arrangement payment. Have the invigilator contact us for verification of their qualifications and approval as well as instructions. Provide at least two (2) weeks between their contacting us and administration of your exam.
To invigilators: Invigilators will be asked to maintain confidentiality with regards to exam content and Candidate related information and to swear that they will uphold the integrity of the invigilation process. Please provide us with copies of any documentation that will verify your qualification as listed above. You may scan and email them or send them to us with the address that we will provide. Alternatively, if you are listed on the organization's web site, which functions to verify your qualification, provide us the direct link. Once we have verified your qualifications, we will approve you to invigilate the exam for the candidate and provide you with the instructions and the exam package via email. The exam allows 3 hours.
To Candidates: If you intend to take the exam, see the membership page to ensure that you have all of the other qualifications for professional membership and apply there (contact us for the forms, fill them out and return them to us). Once and only once we have confirmed that you fulfill all of the other requirements you may use the button below to make the nonrefundable exam fee payment. Then find an individual qualified and willing to invigilate your exam for you and make arrangements to do so. Provide us with the contact information for your invigilator and we will be in touch once they have contacted us and have been approved.
The candidate may take the exam on paper or in a word processor depending on the availability with your invigilator. A word processor completed exam will be faster in terms of getting your results back. If you will be completing the exam on paper, bring extra blank paper and writing instruments and it is vital that you print / write clearly as illegible writing will not generate points.
