It may be possible to establish a special testing center to take a paper and pencil examination outside of the United States for an additional fee of $100 per candidate. A letter must be sent with the application and fees, specifying the preferred city and country, and must be received eight weeks before the testing period begins.

If you are residing in Canada, and there are no computer test centers in your province, you can follow this same procedure or travel to the closest computerized testing center in the United States to take the examination. You will be contacted by e-mail to confirm your test center.

All of the applications for a group international test center must be submitted in one package, with all the applicable fees and original documentation included, plus a cover letter specifying the city and country where the special test center is being requested. PTC is not responsible for following up on credit card payments; the candidate is responsible for paying the fees at the time their application is submitted.
