Examination Delivery, Policies, and Procedures

The Certification Board of AACE International Certification Institute has partnered with KryterionTM Global Testing Solutions to deliver computer-based testing (CBT) at a testing center or through online proctoring for all AACE certification examinations.
 
All testing centers and online proctors must follow standard operating procedures and are certified to ensure the highest level of security and customer care.
 
Testing Centers: With a worldwide network of testing centers, the Kryterion Testing Network (KTN) ensures each testing center conforms to strict standards and that all test takers have consistent experience.
