Prometric Policies and Updates

Nearly all Prometric Test Centers around the world are open: View the complete list of open Prometric Test Centers. Note: This list is subject to change. 

Prometric recently instituted an enhanced exam scheduling system, ProScheduler. This new system allows you to search 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. 

Prometric will maintain a list of test sites globally that require proof of vaccination in order to test. 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.  

In addition, Prometric has made the following changes for all CMA candidates taking the exam at a Prometric Test Center:

• Prometric has reinstated its biometric procedures, specifically fingerprint and ID scans.
• Out of an abundance of caution, all test takers are required to use hand sanitizer before using any fingerprint scanners, and Prometric staff will wipe down devices with cleaner after each use to help reduce any risk of transmission. Prometric staff are trained on how to assist test takers in using fingerprint and ID scans from an appropriate distance.
• Prometric will continue to require everyone who enters a testing center to wear an approved face covering for the duration of their time at the location.
• Exceptions to mask policy: Prometric testing sites at U.S. state universities or U.S. government agencies in states where executive orders now prohibit mandatory face masks. In these cases, candidates will still be allowed to wear masks according to their comfort level at these sites, but masks will not be required.
• More information about these policies can be found on the enhanced test center procedures page on Prometric’s website.
