Exam Application Process

1. Register for the exam click here.
2. Once your registration form is submitted, an invoice will be populated for you to pay the $600 fee.
3. If a special accommodation was requested, you must provide supporting documentation at the time of application. Supporting documents include a valid doctor’s note obtained within the last two years outlining what accommodations are required in English. This documentation must be emailed to educationdirector@csct.ca directly after paying the exam fee. Special accommodations may be subject to an additional fee to be determined by the exam delivery company which you will be invoiced for prior to challenging the exam.
4. You must now provide proof of graduation from a CSCT-approved college by scanning a copy of your diploma and emailing it to educationdirector@csct.ca by the documentation deadline listed above.
   *If you will not have your diploma before the supporting document deadline, your school will provide the CSCT with a list of students eligible to write the exam.

Once your application, payment and documents have been received, you will receive an email from CSCT confirming your eligibility to challenge the exam after the supporting document deadline.
