No. As members and non-members alike will be tested and each person taking the test must be able to access their own testing account, the username and password is picked by each person registering to take the exam. This is not the NPMA membership username and password. Each time a new person in your company wants to take the test, they go to REGISTER at www.npmatesting.com and complete the information. Part of that registration process explained there is selecting a username and password.

They would further study the areas where they need improvement as noted on the results e-mail, and retake the exam as many times as necessary by entering the username and password they originally selected and logging in to the testing site. This way the proper person gets the credit. There is no additional charge for retesting after each technician registers and pays the fee the first time.

All technicians and salespeople that work for a QualityPro Canada company must be tested. New hires must meet this requirement within the first six months of their hire date. The only provision to this rule is that in the case of a valued employee who is employed prior to the company receiving the QualityPro Canada designation and who fails the examination, the employer has the option to sign a statement vouching for the employee's technician expertise. The number of employees exempted under this provision may never exceed 10% of the sales/service technician employee base or one employee, whichever is greater. This exception does not apply to employees who are hired after a company earns the QualityPro Canada designation. If a new employee does not pass these training requirement, they must be accompanied in the field by a qualified employee until such time as they meet these requirements.
