Important information
You do not have to register for or attend a CRL Course, workshop, conference or event to sit for any of the exam options.
However, if you choose to register for a workshop/exam co-located with a conference or event, please keep in mind that this does NOT register you as an event attendee, and you will not be able to attend any sessions, as these are full day workshops. However, breaks and lunches do coincide and you will be able to participate in evening social events. Please make sure you are registering for the correct workshop/event before completing registration.
All Exam fees are $399 USD.
A 3% transaction fee will be charged for all credit card payments.
Please Call (239) 533-9806 or email us if you have any questions about registration.
