Rescheduling or cancelling your HEC-C exam
The HCEC Certification Commission understands that these recent days have been stressful and uncharted, and many of you are on the front lines of caring for patients who may be ill or compromised. You also may have your own personal concerns about your certification plans in light of the COVID-19 outbreak. It is with this in mind that we wish to remind you of some flexibility during this unpredictable period.
If you choose to submit your HEC-C application, the options explained below are available to you for scheduling flexibility. Keep in mind that in order to cancel or reschedule your testing appointment, you must already have responded to Meazure Learning's Notice to Test if you applied for the exam and your application was accepted. When you receive your notice via email, follow the provided instructions and plan your testing appointment.
More details about our rescheduling policies are available on page 9 in the HEC-C Candidate Handbook. Should conditions change, we will be in touch with any changes to the cancellation and transfer policies.
