Fees

There are two separate fees: one for the Readiness Review and another for the Written Exam.

 

The Readiness Review fee is $25 and is a one-time fee, similar to the “application fee” of the old exam. This fee is paid to SCPRSA when a candidate applies for the Readiness Review. If a candidate does not pass the Review and wants to take it again, the fee does not need to be paid twice. After passing the Readiness Review, candidates have up to one year to take the Written Exam.

 

The fee for the written exam is $275 for PRSA members and $385 for members of other Partner Organizations. The fee is paid to the Prometric Testing Center when a testing appointment is scheduled. This fee must be paid each time the written exam is taken.

Appointments for the Written Exam must be scheduled 30 days ahead of time during peak testing months (October – December). If a candidate needs to reschedule a test date for any reason, he or she MUST notify the center two business days before the test date or the payment will be lost. A small reschedule fee may also apply.

 

Applications

Candidates can obtain applications from the PRSA web site or by contacting one of the SCPRSA Accreditation Committee Members.

 

Also, candidates must submit a Readiness Review Candidate's Written Submission Form. Four printed copies of typewritten responses to the questions on this form must be submitted to a candidate’s committee representative no fewer than 15 business days prior to the scheduled Readiness Review.

 

Maintenance Application

Professionals who are currently accredited can obtain a copy of the Maintenance of Accreditation Application from the PRSA web site .
