How long does it take to complete my certification?
Once we have your application for certification, the two candidate evaluation forms, and a current resume/CV, we will process this package and send it to the WSO Certification Board for their evaluation. It takes two to three weeks to get the Board responses back in our office. If you are approved for a certification that does not require an exam, as soon as you pay the required fees your certificate will be forwarded to you. If you are approved for a certification that does require an exam, we will need to set up a date, time, and place for you to take the exam. How soon you take the exam is generally up to you. Once the exam is complete, the exam is graded and evaluated within two to three business days (Monday through Friday).
How long is the exam?
Exam times will vary by exam. You will have from two to three hours to complete your exam once your time period has started.
How much is membership?
The Associate membership is $65.00; for the Affiliate membership contact our office; for the Institutional membership it is $195.00; and for the Sustaining/Corporate Membership it is $1000.00. A $20.00 application fee will also be assessed. All funds are in U.S. dollars.
