Effective May 1, 2017 score reports will no longer be given at test sites. Pass/Fail results (changed from score report) are available for view on-line within 24 hours of testing. Details of failing scores are not available on-line. If you would like a score report mailed to you, please bring a self-addressed stamped envelope on the day of testing.
A Spanish Oral Examination is now available to be taken in place of the Written Examination if you have difficulty reading English.
If you have any questions about competency testing, sanctioned facilities, or the OBRA registry please contact Anne Richter, NATCEP Program Manager, at anne.richter@dshs.wa.gov or (360) 725-2596.
