Note: For International and Special Needs Applicants
Deadlines for applications requesting a non-US or Canada testing location or special accommodations are due no less than four weeks before standard deadlines. Therefore, ASP Qualifying Applications must be submitted no less than twelve weeks before the requested testing period and the Test Center Applications submitted no less than eight weeks before the requested testing period. (See section 4.03 of ASP Certification Handbook for details.)

Note: Rescheduling Your Assigned Examination Appointment
Once ASP forwards Test Center Application forms to Professional Testing Corporation, Candidates approved by ASP become formal PTC Candidates for the next upcoming testing period. PTC Candidates may reschedule to a different date within this two-week testing period, free of charge. However, to transfer to a different two-week testing period, Candidates must pay a transfer fee of $150. This fee is based on cost and is not punitive. There are no refunds of application or exam fees.
