11/02/2012
- Due to UPS and USPS issues with deliveries as a result of hurricane Sandy, the November 15th written examination results may be delayed by 2 weeks.
- If your certification expires after you take the State written exam, but before you receive your official results in the mail, your certification will still be valid until you receive your results. If your agency requires documentation of your certification prior to you receiving your results, you can contact our Central office at (518) 402-0996 and receive a State Administrative Procedures Act (SAPA) letter to prove your certification is still valid. These requests should be made only if the SAPA letter is required to maintain employment or active status within an agency.
