How to apply?
Complete the CNPE Exam Development Participation Form, available on this website or from your regulatory authority, and submit the form to your regulatory authority.
The regulatory authority reviews the forms and nominates potential participants. Names of nominees are forwarded to CNA and Assessment Strategies Inc. (ASI), CNA’s testing company, for inclusion on a national list. Names are removed from the list after three years, at which time a new application must be submitted to ensure accurate contact information as well as up-to-date information about employment and previous exam development participation.
When will I be contacted?
ASI contacts individuals to determine their availability to participate in upcoming sessions. The selection process is structured in a manner to maximize representation from all regulatory authorities. There is no guarantee that nominees will participate in more than one session or in any session.
