Take the COS-C Exam on paper

Take Paper & Pencil (P&P) COS-C Exam in person at a scheduled location. P&P Exams are held all over the country throughout the year, typically after our two-day OASIS training workshop.

Upcoming Exam Fee Announcement:
Effective January 1, 2026 exam fees will increase by $50 for each exam type. This adjustment reflects rising costs associated with exam administration and psychometric support needed to maintain the security, reliability, and validity of the certification assessments. This is the first price increase since the COS-C exam was introduced in 2004. We’ve worked to keep fees stable for more than two decades while continuing to invest in a high-quality testing experience and rigorous scoring standards. We appreciate your understanding and continued commitment to professional excellence. If you plan to test under the current fee, please complete your online registration by December 31, 2025.
