Examination Dates and Locations

Exam dates and locations are subject to change.

Minimum Registration Requirements

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 date, NACOR reserves the right not to offer the examination for that date. In such instances, NACOR will contact registered candidates directly regarding alternative options.

Maximum Capacity Limitations

Because of the nature of practical examinations (including the equipment, space, examiners and models required) some exam dates and locations have a limited capacity. Where maximum capacity has been reached for a specific date, NACOR reserves the right to reschedule some candidates. In such instances, NACOR will contact registered candidates directly regarding alternative options.
