5. Scores will take 2-3 weeks to grade depending on the amount of people taking the test.


6. Be aware, once you start the EnCE test process you have committed to both tests. Those who pass the Phase I test will then be issued Phase II shortly after the first test is scored. This phase of the test includes a CD-ROM that has the test questions and the latest version of our software; also included is a dongle, which you will use to access the CD-ROM. Phase II will be mailed to the address provided on your application.


7. You have 60 days starting on the day you received the package to complete Phase II. There will be a 30-day extension that can be granted per the certification coordinators discretion. Once the maximum of 90 days is up the dongle used to access the test will time out and you will not be allowed to proceed. Should this happen, you will be required to return your dongle and testing materials. You will also be required to wait two months and restart the test from Phase I.


8. Registration for the EnCE Phase I test DOES NOT include enrollment in the EnCE Prep Workshop. The Prep Workshop is a separate lab session; attendees who want to take this course should select it during CEIC session enrollment. The EnCE Prep Workshop fills up fast-- register early to ensure a seat
