Where it leads

5 out of 5 stars
I studied around a full-time job and two kids, sat the exam thirteen months after applying, and my employer reimbursed every dollar. The title change came with a 22% raise.

Applicant questions

What are the entry requirements?+

A bachelor's degree or three years of documented field experience. Unsure which side you fall on? Apply anyway — the review is human.

Can I study while working full-time?+

That's the default. Coursework averages eight hours a week, and practicum hours can be logged at your current workplace if it qualifies as a partner site.

What does it cost?+

$6,800 all-in — modules, placement, mentor, and the exam fee including retakes. The three ways to pay are set out in the tuition section above; most large employers reimburse under tuition benefits.

What if I fail the exam?+

Two free retakes with targeted revision support in between. The 95% first-time pass rate exists because the capstone catches gaps before the exam does.

Is the credential recognised in my state?+

38 states have full reciprocity and the map is in the application pack. If yours isn't on it, we'll tell you before you pay anything.
