Retake Policy
If you don’t pass an exam, you can choose to reapply and retest following the retake waiting period.
There is a waiting period for each retest attempt. After that period, you must submit your retake request and receive a new approval letter before you can schedule and retake your exam.
After failing one or more exam element (general, specific, instruction, or practical):
First Attempt
You can retake the failed practical or CBT element after 30 days.
Second Attempt
You can retake the failed practical or CBT element after 90 days and complete at least 7 hours of training.
Third Attempt
You can retake after six months—but you must reapply as a new candidate and complete all exams (practical and CBT).
The retake policy is in alignment with the ASNT 9712 program document. Review Section 8.5 for complete reexamination details.
When Do I Need to Renew?
ASNT 9712 Level II certifications must be renewed every five years, and you must submit your renewal application and payment before the expiration date on your certificate
