reTEST Assured

What is reTEST Assured?

Taking an examination can be stressful, and while the majority of our candidates are successful on the first try, some are not. To relieve a bit of stress, HPCC has implemented the reTEST Assured Program, which offers any candidate who was unsuccessful, the opportunity to retake an exam for $125. The reTEST Assured Program must be used in one of the three test windows immediately following the exam window in which the candidate was unsuccessful.
