Supplemental Examiners Needed
The ACI certification program provided through the CRMCA is only possible with the help of volunteer Supplemental Examiners. These Supplemental Examiners primarily assist the Examiner of Record for each exam with the administration of the individual performance exam stations for various certifications. Supplemental Examiners are always needed!
In addition to supporting this program and aiding in the advancement of our industry, Supplemental Examiners can earn points for their company which can later be used to cover the costs of future exam registrations. To learn more about these Supplemental Examiner Points (SEPs) and how they can be used, please visit the SEP Program page.
