Application Process

During the year of eligibility, the NCCAA will obtain verification of exam eligibility from candidates’ Program Director. Upon confirmation of eligibility, exam candidates will register for the Certification Exam through their individual, secure NCCAA accounts via the website or the mobile phone app. To access registration:

  • Log into your NCCAA account.
  • Click the “Pay Now” button.
  • Registration is open during select timeframes, as listed within the individual NCCAA accounts.
  • Once the payment button is selected, complete the required PSI communication form, and submit payment via credit card.

It is the exam candidate’s responsibility to proofread the contact information as entered to ensure receipt of all PSI and NCCAA communication regarding the exam.

To initiate the process of scheduling the exam, click on the “Testing Center” button. The system will then require you to enter your login credentials before connecting you directly to PSI’s scheduling platform.
