NCCPA's computer-based PANCE and PANRE exams are conducted at more than 200 Pearson VUE testing centers across the country. Visit www.pearsonvue.com for directions to testing centers in your area.

Anticipating that many PAs would want to frame their new certificate, NCCPA has facilitated a frame program with Atlanta-based GeoDirect who offers custom frames at half the retail cost. To view available frames and place an order, visit GeoDirect. Please e-mail all frame questions to GeoDirect or call them directly 1-888-436-9957.

NCCPA has a formal appeals policy, described in detail in a document that’s available on demand— Appeal Process For Adverse Certification Decisions.  If you decide to register a complaint, file a grievance or make an appeal, request that document right away. (You must contact us within 3 days of the exam if you want to file an exam grievance.) The document is available on our site index and downloads page. Or contact our legal department to request a mailed copy.

Need a receipt letter?  To print a receipt for any payments made to NCCPA since 2004, sign in to your personal certification record at www.nccpa.net and click the "Receipt" link in the left-hand column of your My Record page and then follow the on-screen instructions.
