New NCP Re-Test Option Offered

The 2024 National Check Professional (NCP) exam window has begun and continues through May 11. ECCHO, the sponsor of this certification program, has announced that the program broke a record by registering 307 candidates for this 2024 exam cycle. Because of this historic number of candidates, new in 2024, they are providing a re-test offering for those who are unable to pass the exam on their first attempt.

There are specific requirements that must be met to qualify for this one-time re-test option:

• To be eligible to re-test, candidates’ first exam attempt must occur between April 20 – May 7 as no candidate will be allowed to test or re-test beyond May 11th.
• Candidates who fail their first exam attempt must notify ECCHO of their intent to retest, no later than the next business day by 1pm ET. Re-test notification requests should be sent to Nicole Williams at nicole.hanlin@theclearinghouse.org or (214) 273-3200. Additionally, candidates who wish to re-test must pay a re-test exam seat fee of $100.
• Once a candidate notifies ECCHO of their intent to re-test and ECCHO confirms their request, the candidate will have 3 calendar days to schedule and re-test.  For example, if a candidate’s first attempt is on a Thursday, they must notify ECCHO of their intent to re-test no later than the next business day (i.e., Friday) by 1pm ET. Then, the candidate will need to schedule an appointment and re-test over the next three calendar days (i.e., Saturday through Monday). If a candidate’s first attempt is on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, they must notify ECCHO of their intent to re-test no later than the next business day (i.e., Monday) by 1pm ET. Then, the candidate will need to schedule an appointment and re-test over the next three calendar days (i.e., Tuesday through Thursday).
• Availability to re-test is not guaranteed. In most cases, candidates who re-test will be limited to OnVUE delivery. For OnVUE delivery, assuming availability, candidates can schedule an appointment and re-test on the same day.
