CCO is soliciting applications from qualified individuals to fill two open positions on its Commission. Applications must be received by October 9, 2023.

CCO has announced exam fees for 2024. Fees for practical exams and all written exam modalities except for paper-pencil testing (PPT) will remain the same as 2023.

CCO has filed legal action in Texas against three individuals and one company for claims arising from a scheme to fraudulently certify individuals, including claims for fraud, unfair competition, copyright infringement, breach of contract, and conspiracy.

CCO is excited to release details on Test Center Testing (TCT), the newest way for candidates to take written exams. TCT exams are delivered via computer at a facility established specifically for administering secure exams.
