2020 Technical Exam
Due to unforeseen facility restrictions, the Certification Registration Board (CRB) has determined it is in the best interest of the candidates and examiners to postpone the November 2020 Technical Practical Exam until early 2021. We understand the repercussions this entails for the eligible candidates. The CRB is working thoroughly at providing the best examination format for candidates and examiners. We will be in touch with next steps.
