If you do not pass the certification exam, you may apply to take the test again after 180 days.
If you are declared ineligible for certification testing or you are unsuccessful in passing the examination and you feel the decision or process was unfair or incorrect, you have the right to contact the National Council, explain the reasons for your dissatisfaction, and ask for a review of your situation. The National Council will either explain why it is maintaining its decision, correct the situation as needed, or forward credible concerns to the Appeals Committee. If your concerns are forwarded to the Appeals Committee, the National Council has 60 days to convene the Committee, have it issue a ruling, and respond to you.
