The examination fee for the ABCGN certification program includes a $90.00 application processing fee which will not, under any circumstances, be refunded. Should your application be denied, you will receive a refund for the examination fee; however, the nonrefundable processing fee will be retained.
Rollover Option: If you do not take the examination for any reason, you have the option to apply
your application fees to one of the next two test administrations by submitting a new application
and paying a reapplication fee of $50.00. If you do not show up for testing, you will automatically
receive a letter offering this “rollover” option.
If you are taking the exam outside of the United States, there is an additional $200 fee.
