How to get your notice to schedule for cpa

IMPORTANT: Scheduling Test Accommodations appointments

Once you have been approved for Special Test Accommodations (TA) by your Board and you have received your TA approval notification, you can schedule your appointment. Some accommodations can be self-scheduled but some are not.

• Self-scheduling: please note that many appointments with approved testing accommodations are available for self-scheduling through our online scheduling tool ProScheduler - Program Information (prometric.com)
• Contacting the TA Team: however, please note that certain accommodations will require direct action from our specialized Testing Accommodations team to ensure readiness for test day and the first available appointment date will reflect that readiness time period.

As always, our Test Accommodations team is available to assist if you need support while scheduling.
Please note that not all accommodations can be provided in all countries; accommodations vary by location.

To learn more and to see the Test Accommodations team contact telephone numbers by geographical region visit: Arrange Testing Accommodations | Prometric

Steps to Register to Test in an International Location

2. After receiving your Notice to Schedule, you may then register to take the examination in an international location and pay the additional fees per examination section. These fees are non-refundable.
   • To complete the registration, please visit the Test Internationally section of the participating jurisdiction in which you wish to apply on the NASBA website. If you choose a jurisdiction that does not have a Test Internationally section, then you cannot take the CPA Exam internationally through that jurisdiction.

You will be asked to provide identifying information, as well as information from your NTS. You will also need a valid Passport or National ID Card in order to register.
