Exam Information
All applicants are required to pass the IC&RC examination to become certified. Exams are administered by computer-based testing (CBT) at various partner testing centers across the state.
Once you have met all prior application requirements of the TCB and paid exam fees, you will be pre-registered for testing, where you will receive an e-mail with further instructions on scheduling your exam and selecting your preferred date, time and location. Once your selections have been made, you will receive a Candidate Admission Letter via email.
Note: you will have (1) year from the date of pre-registration to schedule and complete your examination.
