Cancelling or Rescheduling your exam

Explains procedures for cancellation and rescheduling of the NNAAP Examination in District of Columbia

You can easily cancel or reschedule an exam online using your Credentia account. 

Written Exam:

Cancel or reschedule your Online Written (or Oral) examination at least 48 hours (2 days) before your scheduled test time. 

Skill Exam:

To reschedule or cancel your examination, log into your Credentia account at least ten (10) business days before the test date (Saturday, Sunday, and national holidays are not considered business days).

Note:

  • If you do not reschedule or cancel at least ten (10) business days before your test date, your fee will not be refunded and cannot be transferred to a new test date, and you may not give your test date to another person.
  • If you do reschedule/cancel in time, there is no penalty, and your fee may be transferred to your new test date. If your employer paid your test fee, inform them about missing the test or rescheduling. Let them know how you have handled rescheduling and when you plan to take the test again.
  • If you do not report to the testing location or to the online exam on the day or time of your scheduled test, you will be considered a “no-show” and you will not get your testing fee back. If you no show for two examinations your application to test will be removed and you will need to re-apply.

Weather Emergencies

A test center or online examination will be delayed or cancelled only in emergencies.

Refunds

Once payment of exam fees is received, no refunds will be issued.
