Now Open: Live Online Proctoring for NABCEP Associate Exams

NABCEP has just announced that candidates may now schedule to take the NABCEP PV Associate credentialing exams through live online proctoring (LOP), and can begin testing as soon as May 1^st, 2020.

The LOP testing method means that you can now earn your NABCEP PV Associate credentials on your own computer and without having to leave your home. LOP reduces the costs and safety concerns associated with traveling to testing sites, which makes NABCEP exams more accessible and safe, while also decreasing their collective carbon footprint.

If your NABCEP Associate application has already been approved by NABCEP, follow the instructions in the Notice to Schedule (NTS) email you received from Scantron to schedule your exam. 

If you have already completed our Solar PV Boot Camp + NABCEP PV Associate Exam Prep course and are ready to submit your application to NABCEP and schedule a LOP exam, please review the assignment in the final module of the course titled “Submit Your NABCEP PV Associate Application and Schedule Your Exam”.
