The exam is two parts, consisting of a written and design portion. A 70% or better is needed on each part to pass the exam. The exam is offered twice per year. Individuals who have submitted applications will be notified via mail of the next testing date. After the applicant passes the exam, the applicant will pay for and receive their license.
