NCC is offering a "Second Chance Free" promotion for all those who submit a certification application between February 1, 2025, and September 30, 2025, until 11:59 pm CST, and are found eligible for the NCC examination. You must register for the examination and pay the registration fee during this time frame. For a limited time, if you are not successful in achieving certification on your first examination attempt, you can apply to retake the same NCC Certification examination for a second attempt for free. (Please note, if you registered for an exam before February 1, 2025, you do not qualify for a second chance free promotion). The promotion is based on the date of the registration application.
If you registered during the promotion time frame and are not successful on your first attempt, you will be eligible to reapply for the same certification examination after a 45-day waiting period and your fee for the second attempt will be waived. Candidates who fail on the first attempt have 12 months from the date they tested to register again for the same examination and receive their second chance free. To receive the second chance free, you must be signed into your account, use the link to apply for the exam again within your account, and then complete the application process to demonstrate continued compliance with all eligibility requirements. The fee will only be waived if you apply for the same certification.
Offer to reapply at no cost is only valid for the 12 months following your first unsuccessful examination attempt. Please note, there is a 45-day waiting period after an examination attempt before you can register again. A voucher code will not be provided and should not be used when applying for a second attempt. Once signed in to the account the registration process should be done using the "register for an exam" link on the Certification home page or directly from the link in your account. The policy for retesting including the 45-day wait to register is within this 12-month time frame.
This offer won’t last long so register here starting February 1, 2025.
