Greetings AAHAM Members!

The June National Newsletter features upcoming events, resources, industry news, the latest certification challenge and more.

The 2024 Legislative Day was a great success. Attendees were able to engage in informative sessions, connect with influential speakers, and participate in meetings with Federal congressional leaders during an-person meeting in their states.

Thank you to all that were involved for this cornerstone of our advocacy efforts for our communities!

AAHAM would also like to extend a SPECIAL thank you to Baltimore City Regional Director, Elonna Jones, Constituent Services Representative, Paul Seals, Former 2020 Democratic Candidate for US Senate, Marckeith DeJesus, Jose Guevarez, Toiya Jones, Gustavo Matheus, and Scott S. London for the wonderful photos and capturing the essence of our event.

More Information

AAHAM Certification Exam Schedule

AAHAM offers our certification exams monthly to offer flexible scheduling options to become certified when the time is right for you and your busy schedule.

CRCS and CCT certification exams can now be scheduled on demand throughout the year. CRCE, CRCP, and CRIP certification exams are offered on the third week of each month.

All certification registrations must be made online through the AAHAM website. Exam registrations need to be submitted at least 30 days before the scheduled exam date.

Exam Retake Policy

The AAHAM certification exam retake policy offers our test takers more flexibility with scheduling their section retakes. The policy allows for section retakes to be taken outside of the standard exam cycles.

The only restrictions are that the section retakes need to be scheduled at least 30 days from their initial testing date, and the test taker is responsible for making their own proctor arrangements, whether with their original exam proctor or online through ProctorU.

Retakes must be completed within one year of the original testing date. Retakes can only be taken twice, after that, participants must re-take the entire exam.
