After You Apply for the CPNRE
The CLPNS will review your submission. If your application is acceptable, the CLPNS will send your information to the exam provider. You will be notified by email if the CLPNS has any questions about your application.
Once the exam provider receives and reviews your information, they will email you an invitation to schedule your CPNRE exam. This email may take up to one week to arrive. Please check your junk mail folder. In this email, you can schedule your CPNRE date and time. If you were approved for exam accommodations, you will book your CPNRE date, time, and location using the toll-free number provided in your email.
