NCP Program Fees

Since 2011 when the NCP Program was deployed, the exam fees have remained unchanged.  However, due to recent enhancements to the NCP Program, there will be a $50 increase to the overall NPC exam fee. 

An upcoming enhancement will be the implementation (January 1, 2025) of an “NCP practice test” that will allow candidates to test their knowledge plus become familiar with the style of questions used in the actual NCP exam.

Effective Sept 1, 2024, the NCP exam and its practice test fees will be as follows:

• NCP Exam: $500/$625 (member/non-member; includes practice test)

• NCP Practice Test: $50 (non-registrant may purchase access to the exam practice test)

In addition, one important note is that the new exam price will include access to the practice test.  However, those who registered prior to Sept 1, 2024, or who transferred their 2024 exam registration to 2025 exam will need to pay the extra $50 to gain access to the practice test.
