Examination Dates and Locations

Applications to take an exam are due in the AIRS office 30 days prior to a test.

Please be aware that registration for your local Affiliate Conference or the AIRS Conference does not constitute registration for the AIRS Certification exam. If you are interested in taking a test, all certification exam applications, supporting documentation and appropriate exam fees must be mailed to the AIRS National Office in Fairfax, VA, and must arrive 30 days prior to the exam. DO NOT send your application for Certification with your conference registration.

If an application and payment are mailed to an address other than the AIRS National Office in Fairfax, Virginia, the application will not be processed and the applicant will be unable to sit the exam.

The contacts listed for each site can provide information such as directions to the test site, whether training or a study session will be available before the exam, and if there are additional charges from the hosting organization to cover their room costs. Canadian applicants must apply to InformCanada. These exams are not "held" by AIRS but by the hosting organization in accordance with AIRS specifications.

• EXAMS TAKING PLACE BETWEEN MAY 1st AND SEPTEMBER 1st MAY TAKE PLACE ON EITHER SYSTEM AND THIS IS INDICATED UNDER EACH LISTING.
• ALL EXAMS TAKING PLACE AFTER SEPTEMBER 1st WILL BE CONDUCTED ON OUR NEW COMPUTER-BASED TESTING SYSTEM.
