Exam Day Online

Prepares candidates for the procedures and expectations on exam day for the NNAAP Online Examination in Alaska

Taking Your Exam Online

You can take your Written/Oral exam from home or work through Credentia Online proctoring. A live proctor (someone who supervises the test) will securely monitor you through the webcam on your workstation. Online exams also offer you more scheduling flexibility than test center exams to fit with your schedule.
