THE ICTP ARF EXAM
This applies to you if you took or are taking the Initial Certification Training Program for Administrators of ARF (ICTP-ARF) between:
MARCH 2020 through JULY 2021
After completing the ICTP ARF program prior to August 1, 2021 you must apply for a conditional admin certificate by completing the Application for Administrator Certification within 30 days of taking the ICTP ARF course.
If you are taking the ICTP course in July of 2021 that ends July 16, 2021 you must send in your application prior to August 16, 2021.
Include in the application the certificate issued to you by Smart Seminars.
Your conditional certificate is good for two years from the date of issue. You must complete 40 hours of CEU renewal prior to the two year expiration to be in good standing.
The Exam

The exam is being offered online via webcam. It is an open book exam for 90 minutes.
You must pass the exam to maintain your certificate. You can take the exam three times . After you pass the exam your certificate will no longer be considered conditional (and I am guessing they will send you a new one).
