Pilot Test Information
Exam Information
Exams are based on the knowledge, skills and tasks that an entry level HTCP needs to have as determined through a Validation Study. These studies, also known as a practice analysis or job analysis, were conducted by a committee of SMEs. This ensures that the exam is not only created fairly but also contains relevant information. The validation studies are conducted every two years as part of the maintenance of the assessment instrument.
