JUNE 2022 WINDOW TESTING UPDATE
- We currently offer two testing environments for the VA-BC Exam:
- Test Centers: in numerous locations across the U.S. and Canada, with select international locations
- ProProctor Remotely-proctored Exams: launched in June 2020 in response to COVID
- Due to large volumes and new technologies, ProProctor experienced some challenges in our recent windows. Those are continually being addressed for enhancements and improvement.
- However, now that test centers are opening to handle full capacity and in order to offer candidates a more familiar, user-friendly experience, we recommend you schedule your June 2022 exam at a test center.
- The current testing option for international candidates (outside the U.S. and Canada) is ProProctor, though some international candidates may have a testing site operating near them.
- We will continue to post updates to this site throughout the window.
