The PCC Exam (PDF brochure) is on schedule to be available November 14, 2011. The handbook has just been released as a PDF download and the study guide is nearly ready to send to the printers! The test will be administered by computer at Prometric Test Centers throughout the United States and Canada.
The application fee is $215, payable by credit card (only) through the application website. You have 90 days to take the test from the date your application is accepted. To comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, special testing accommodations will be considered for individuals with disabilities recognized by the ADA. Appendix D of the handbook contains a form for these requests.
On June 11, 2011, 188 paralegals took the Paralegal CORE Competency Exam™ pilot test at 12 test sites across the country. Of the paralegals who completed the test, 146 achieved a passing score of 550 or better. Those paralegals are the very first CORE Registered Paralegals™ and have earned the right to use the CRP™ credential. Congratulations to all who passed!
