Exam Dates

The National Marital and Family Therapy Examination is administered via computer. Candidates have the opportunity to take the Exam during a 28-day window of time at testing locations offered through Prometric-Thomson Learning Centers (Step 1. select Academic, Professional Licensure & Certification, Government, and Corporate Programs; Step 2. select Association of Marriage and Family Therapy Regulatory Boards; Step 3. select your location).

Candidates should contact their state boards concerning applications and eligibility requirements. After the state board has approved the applicant to sit for the Exam, the candidate should follow the payment instructions as defined by their state.

Candidates also will be asked to fill out an additional application for Professional Examination Service. Once the PES application is completed and the examination fee of two hundred and twenty dollars ($220.00) has been received, candidates will receive an identification number and information concerning the testing centers. Candidates will be instructed to contact Prometric-Thomson Learning Centers directly to schedule their examination date and time. Please note that there is an additional seventy-five dollar ($75.00) site fee.

Please contact your state board directly with any questions concerning application deadlines and additional fees for licensure and application. Your state may have additional requirements that may supersede the ones outlined above.

Score reporting
An official score report will be mailed to state board offices four (4) weeks AFTER THE CLOSE of the testing window.
