Eligible Testing Locations
PTCB credentials are designed for use exclusively in the United States of America and its territories (US). Therefore, PTCB exams are generally only administered in the US. Active members of the US military and their spouses are eligible to test anywhere in the world. Other applicants outside of the US are only eligible to take a PTCB exam at a US-based Pearson VUE test center if they provide adequate documentation that shows they meet one of the required conditions.
