International Examination Services
NCA and AMP are making available international computerized examinations. For information regarding the availability of international computerized Assessment Centers please visit the AMP website.

AMP is continuing to expand its international locations and more locations are being added throughout the year. If you are an international candidate who meets the eligibility requirements, you will need to submit a completed application form, attach the appropriate documentation and the application fee for the computerized examination along with the international Assessment Center fee of $250. This additional fee helps to cover the costs for establishing international Assessment Centers and making the computerized examination available year-round. If you do not have a Social Security number or social insurance number, a unique identifying number will be assigned to you when your application is processed. All other rules and regulations regarding the computerized examination apply to international examination candidates. All examinations will be given in computerized format only.
