National Exam Request Forms & Information

National Exam Request Forms

The request form is in the Testing Request step in your licensure portal. Upload your completed form to the step for processing. Once your request form is processed by the Board office, you will be sent an email with next steps including how to register, schedule and pay your exam.

If you looked in your portal and you don't have the step, the links are below. Scroll down to log into your account. Please do not create a new one.  

Add MFT Test Request form to my portal. Your authorization from the Board is valid for six testing cycles, which is about six months. You can only use your code once, so if you used it to register and need to reschedule your exam, you will need to submit another test request.

Add CPC Test Request form to my portal. Your authorization from the Board is valid for one year. If you take your test and fail it, you may work directly with CCE to reschedule your exam if it is within that year. If it is over one year, you will need to submit another test request.
