It is very important that this information is correct, as it will appear as it was entered on the documentation provided to you after you have completed the exam, as well as on any reports to your licensing agency.

Pearson VUE will begin accepting applications on June 1, 2012, and accepting exam reservations on June 26, 2012. However, Electrology testing is pending. We will update the website when we have additional information on the Electrology exam.
