WDIR Examination Process
Step 1: Review requirements and prepare the affidavit. Licensees do not need to be included on the affidavit as it is designed for owners to guarantee eligibility. To maintain a high level of moral responsibility, character and business integrity; to practice fairness, frankness and honesty in all advertising and in all transactions with the general public.
Step 2: Register for the course and include the affidavit and registration fees.
Step 3: On the day of the course, take the exam. The exam contains 50 questions and candidates must get 40 correct to pass. You will have up to one hour to take the exam. Test results will be sent to NCPMA and matched up to the affidavit and course records to ensure that the candidate took the course and qualifies. Results will be sent to candidates within two weeks of the exam.
EACH CANDIDATE’S FIRST TEST FEE IS INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM REGISTRATION FEES, SO THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. IF A CANDIDATE FAILS THE FIRST TEST, HE/SHE CAN RETAKE THE EXAM AN UNLIMITED NUMBER OF TIMES (EACH EXAM WILL BE UNIQUE) AND NCPMA WILL BILL THE COMPANY FOR THE FEE OF $35.00 PER ADDITIONAL TEST TAKEN. TO REGISTER TO RETAKE THE EXAM, CONTACT NCPMA.
Step 4: Upon successful completion, NCPMA will send your company official notification and order a personalized stamp for the newly-accredited inspector. The inspector agrees to abide by the code of ethics, which is provided.
Step 5: Market your company as having the highest level of training in the state, but make sure that only accredited inspectors are sent if a customer asks for an NCPMA Accredited Inspector.
Remember, the designation is with the individual, not the company.
