Regional Certification Testing
The C2 testing is often administered by the local club. Our region encourages candidates to participate in a certification with a National Examiner to gain valuable experience and to better prepare them for the National C3 test. Candidates who have only experienced testing with a Local Level Examiner might be surprised at the testing atmosphere, unexpected nerves, and level of preparation required at the C3 with the National Examiners.
Many individual clubs don't have the resources to hire a National Examiner, may not have the appropriate facilities available in their area, or may a only have small number of candidates who desire to test at this level, so the Region organizes a testing that is open to all clubs.
The deadline to apply for C2 tests is April 15 for a spring/summer test and August 15 for fall tests. Check our calendar for deadlines for D3/C1 testing.
