Accommodations Request Form

The National Healthcare Certification Organization will consider requests for testing accommodations from candidates with a documented disability. These accommodations can include additional time to take the exam or using approved auxiliary aids. An Accommodation Request Form must include supporting documents.

• If you require testing accommodations you must submit a letter from a healthcare professional diagnosing the medical condition and how this limits your ability to take the exam under standard testing conditions.
• Your request must be approved prior to continuing to submit the exam application.

Supporting documents, such as medical records, must validate:

• Substantial limits to the candidate’s sensory, manual, speaking, or other functional skills
• A disability that significantly impairs the candidate’s ability to read or otherwise complete the examination

Candidates must complete the request form and wait for an approval notification before taking the certification exam. Applicants who do not meet ADA-required standards will be notified via email with a general reason for the denial decision.
