Booking Through Us vs. Finding an Examiner on Your Own

On your own

  • You must confirm the training school is genuinely APA-accredited — many “certificates” come from unaccredited courses.
  • You must check that memberships are real and have not lapsed.
  • Few people think to ask about professional liability insurance.
  • A sole operator often has no published standards and no complaints route.
  • You may pay in full for a test your situation is not suitable for.

Booking through us

  • Training, accreditation, and credentials already verified.
  • Memberships checked and kept current.
  • Professional liability insurance in place.
  • Published Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice, and complaints procedure.
  • Every case reviewed first — if it’s unsuitable, your $100 deposit is refunded in full.
