Examination Dates and Locations

Exam dates and locations are subject to change. For an examination to be operationally feasible, a minimum number of registrations is required. Where this minimum number of registrations is not met for a specific exam date, NACOR reserves the right not to offer the examination for that exam date. In such instances, NACOR will contact registered candidates regarding alternative options.
