You can now purchase tickets to the exam session through the chapter's website under the events tab. From there, once you hit "Register," you can "Continue As Guest" and fill out the Contact Information. If you are a department head. lab manager, owner, etc, filling out for your staff this is where your information will go. Once you get to the next screen, you will be able to purchase guest tickets as needed for the Full, Written Only, and Performance Only Examinations, adding your personnel's name, company, and email. You will then continue reviewing your order and either bypassing the Payment if you are bringing a check to the examination or continuing on to pay by credit card. You should get a confirmation email once complete. 

This is a new change, so I will be monitoring daily and checking in on issues. I apologize that this change took a while to become live, and we are a couple of weeks away from the first exam session. 

For any questions or further information, please reach the Certification Committee Chair, Chaz McGee, at [email protected].
