Consortium of College Testing Centers

If the list does not provide you with a proctoring site in your area, it is suggested that you contact a community college close to you. Quite often community colleges offer proctoring services for their communities at large. Contact the general administrative office of the community college and they will put you in touch with the school's proctoring service. Prior to making an appointment you must confirm with the school's proctoring service that they will administer the NBCAAM exam specifically.  A typical fee range for a proctoring site is $25 - $50.

Please contact the site of your choice to obtain their testing procedures.

Veterinarian Exam Proctor

It is also possible to use a veterinarian as an examination proctor. To do this, you need to identify a veterinarian who will agree to serve as an examination proctor. The examination proctor may not be related to you in any way.

The role of the veterinarian examination proctor is to receive the online examination user ID and password, provide a DSL or cable enabled computer and a quiet and monitored space for the exam to be taken. It is your responsibility to set up the date to take the exam with the veterinarian proctor as detailed in the Application Procedures page on the NBCAAM website. Veterinarian exam proctors will make sure practitioners taking the exam do not have access to notes or any learning materials during the exam. The veterinarian proctor will also hold the practitioner to the exam time limit.
