1) At School

If your exam is offered at your school’s Pearson VUE site, your instructor will provide information about the exam date and time.

2) At a Pearson VUE Testing Center

You can take the exam at a Pearson VUE Testing Center near you once you’re authorized to test. Use the authorization code from AMT to create an account with Pearson VUE and schedule your exam.
