Answer:
Candidates who have failed a written or performance exam apply for retesting as they did for the original test. Candidates have one year from the original test date to retest for the failed portion of their certification exam. For example; if a candidate fails the written exam, he/she has one year to pass the written exam before the completed performance exam expires. Candidates are required by ACI to take the entire written exam again, not just the failed section(s). Should that one year pass, candidates must retake both the written AND performance exams again - essentially starting over. This process will also be explained in your results letter.
Candidates also have the option of taking the written retest for Field Tech 1 or Strength Testing Tech at ProMetric Testing Centers. You can find a location near you and make an appointment at www.prometric.com. ProMetric is independent of the Chapter and has its own fees. Once you have taken the test, ProMetric will send it on to ACI International to link up with your performance exam. ACI International will send you results in letter after processing.
Retesting for all other certifications must be done through the Chapter. Please fill out an application for the desired retest.
