How certification works

Every AIPA exam is delivered and scored to the same rigorous standard.

Server-scored & secure

Your exam is assembled and graded on our servers — answer keys never reach the browser.

Online-proctored

A secure exam mode with in-browser monitoring and integrity flagging protects the value of your credential.

Resume without penalty

Continuous autosave means a dropped connection resumes the same attempt — your answers and timer are safe.

Accommodations

Request reasonable adjustments such as extra time; approved accommodations are applied automatically.

Independent appeals

Every result can be appealed and reviewed independently of the original scoring.

Stays current for 3 years

Keep your credential valid by logging continuing-education credits toward each recertification cycle.
