Scheduling Your Exam

When you're ready to take the exam, you must submit your preferred exam date and your proctor’s contact information to ACMA at least two (2) weeks in advance. This ensures we have enough time to deliver your proctor code and instructions.

Proctors are responsible for maintaining test security and overseeing the exam according to ACMA's proctoring guidelines.

CCT recertification is required every three (3) years to maintain your active status. The entire process is completed online through the ACMA Education Hub and includes self-study reference materials followed by an open-book exam.

To avoid expiration, candidates must recertify by their CCT expiration date. If you do not recertify within 12 months of your expiration date, you must re-enroll as a new candidate, pay the full certification fee, and pass a proctored exam.

Steps to Recertify

1. Check your expiration date on your CCT certificate.
2. Purchase the recertification program in the ACMA Education Hub (discounted pricing available for members).
3. Access the workbook and exam immediately after purchase. The exam requires a 90% passing score and may be saved and revisited before submission.
4. Use your workbook and notes during the exam. Some candidates prefer printing the workbook for reference.
5. Submit the exam for automatic grading. A temporary certificate will be available to download after passing. A hard copy will be mailed within four (4) weeks — please ensure your mailing address is up to date in the MyACMA portal.

All candidates must complete their CCT exam under the supervision of a pre-approved proctor. Substitutes are not allowed.

Acceptable proctors include:

• A certified CCT Instructor (not involved in the candidate’s training)
• The candidate’s direct supervisor
• A representative from the training or HR department
• A test center at a technical school, university, or community college
  (Additional costs may apply)

How to Submit Proctor Information

Candidates must email the following information about their chosen proctor to cct@acmanet.org at least two (2) weeks before their exam date:

• Proctor's full name
• Job title
• Company or institution
• Email address
• Phone number

ACMA will send exam instructions directly to the approved proctor.

Important Notes

• Instructors who provided training should not proctor the same candidate’s certification exam to ensure impartiality.
• A proctor is not required for recertification exams.
