Prometric recently instituted an enhanced exam scheduling system, ProScheduler. This new system allows you to search the availability of testing center seats by ZIP code, schedule/reschedule your exam, or cancel your appointment.
In an effort to comply with regional and local/government guidance and mandates, some Prometric locations are now requiring candidates to present proof of COVID-19 vaccination at check-in. Candidates testing at these identified sites should be prepared to present the documentation provided to them by their healthcare provider at the time of vaccination. Prometric will update this list on a regular basis.
Effective May 1, Prometric will no longer require masks to be worn in test centers.
Note that Prometric has specific policies in place for all CMA candidates taking the exam at a Prometric Test Center. More information can be found on the test center policies page.
