Schedule Your Exam

How Do I Schedule My Exam?

Once your application is approved, you can schedule your exam. You will receive an Authorization to Test (ATT) letter by email and in your MyNBCOT account. This letter authorizes you to schedule and take the certification exam. The NBCOT exam is offered daily at Prometric test centers, and you must schedule your testing appointment directly with them.

Check for your ATT letter in your junk/spam box. It will come from donotreply@nbcot.org.


Your ATT letter includes:

  • How to schedule your exam with Prometic
  • Instructions on how to proceed with testing accommodations, if applicable
  • How to reschedule or cancel your exam, if necessary
  • Prometric contact information

Exam scores are released according to the scoring calendar. If you want your exam result on a specific scoring date, you MUST take your exam a minimum of three days before that score release date.
