The general guideline for examinee/exam proctor ratio is 30:1. We realize that not all facilities can accommodate this amount therefore this ratio may vary.
All exam materials must be accounted for, signed off by proctor on the exam checklist and must be returned to the NHA Corporate office within 3 business days via courier service (example UPS, Fed Ex, NHA's courier account, airmail, or overnight courier).
I have read the above statements and understand that by signing this oath I accept all responsibilities listed. I also understand that in the event that I do not abide by these rules that I will be prohibited from proctoring exams in the future.
