I understand and agree to all of the following as a condition of testing:
That NAHT retains the sole authority to make all final decisions regarding eligibility and certification.
All published NAHT candidate policies, including the NAHT fee and refund policies.
That the liability of NAHT and its agents is limited to examination fees only.
That a minimum of 14 clock hours of NAHT approved Continuing Education will be required each year in order to maintain my national NAHT certification in an active status.
That the practice of some professions may be regulated in certain states and it is my responsibility to determine whether this certification meets my state requirements for practice before taking it.
That it is my responsibility to send NAHT all required documentation, that all documentation must be in English, and that no certification will be released unless all requirements have been met and all documentation is on file at NAHT. That I must submit my application, documentation and fees at least 2 weeks prior to the test date or there may be a delay in test site approval and assignment. I also understand that I should allow 2-4 weeks for processing exam results after testing. That only 3 lifetime attempts are allowed for testing in any single discipline. If I fail an exam, I must wait a minimum of 30 days before applying to retake it. Each retest requires a new application and payment of the full fee.
That NAHT grounds for invalidation or recall of any NAHT certification may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Violation of any policies or procedures of NAHT, including its code of ethics.
Failure to cooperate and/or reasonably assist with the investigation of any testing irregularity.
Giving or receiving unauthorized assistance when taking an examination (e.g. cheating).
Permitting anyone other than yourself to take an examination with your identity.
Violation of any laws relating to practice of the profession for which you are being tested.
Falsifying anything related to test application or test admission processes, or falsifying documentation. Using fraud or deception to obtain certification or recertification of oneself or another by assistance. Unauthorized possession, distribution, or use of NAHT exams or test questions in any form.
Any test irregularities that, in the professional judgment of NAHT, fall outside acceptable psychometric limits.
I give NAHT the authority to do all of the following:
To request necessary information from individuals, institutions, or organizations in order to validate my identity, documentation, education, background and/or other credentials.
To release my NAHT certification status (i.e. whether you hold certification) to any member of the public that requests it. To release my certification exam score to my college, school or program (for Route 1 applicants).
To release my photo for identification confirmation purposes.
To allow the use of my name for certification recognition purposes on the NAHT website(s).
I verify all of the following:
That I am a U.S. High School graduate, or possess equivalent credentials (e.g. GED).
That I have never been convicted of, or plead guilty/no contest to, any felony offense. (Note: If you have, place an X over this bulleted statement and attach official court documentation that all the requirements, restrictions, and obligations set forth by the court have been satisfied completely. Your application cannot be considered without this court documentation. Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis. Failure to disclose felony status will result in permanent dis-qualification and/or revocation of any certification granted. NAHT reserves the right to do background checks at any time.) That I have personally completed my own application form and fully understand the contents. I declare, under penalty of perjury, that all the information I have provided in this application is true and that the signature below is my own.
