Use the calendar below to schedule your written FCTC written test. If you take the written test more than once, your most recent score will be included in the statewide list. Candidates may take the written test only once in a 30 day period.

Rescheduling your test: Candidates may reschedule all events up to two business days beforehand without penalty. Changes less than two business days before a scheduled test will be subject to a processing fee: $50 for CPAT, $10 for the Written Test.  Failure to reschedule pre-test events within this timeframe will result in forfeiture of fees.

FCTC does not accept reschedule requests on the day of the event.

Unless arrangements have been made, prepaid events that are not scheduled and completed within 12 months of the original payment date will be cancelled and all fees forfeited.

Cancellations: All FCTC fees are non-refundable. Candidates may cancel their test, but will forfeit their testing fees. 

No Shows: If you do not show up on your scheduled test day, your fee is forfeited. If you want to schedule another test day, you will have to pay the full fee again.
