    1. Review the Practical Test Site Requirements.
    2. Follow administrator guidelines shown in Test Site Administrator Handbook when preparing for your exam.
    3. Complete online application.
  2. Select Certification Evaluators.
    1. Every exam requires three approved Certification Evaluators for up to six candidates. If additional candidates are being tested, separate testing sessions or three more evaluators are required.
    2. Only one of the three evaluators may have an affiliation with an exam candidate. Find approved Certification Evaluators for your exam. Mixing the team of evaluators used by the site is a preferred practice as it gives more evaluators a chance to stay current and it allows for cross training as they learn from one another.
    3. Test Administrators having difficulty-finding evaluators for a practical exam; please contact the local ACF Chapter.
    4. ACF Chapters may help offset travel costs for evaluators who may need to travel longer distances than normal.
