Scheduling the examination and Administration Process

The confirmation notice contains a web address and toll-free telephone number for the candidate to contact AMP; ABHI’s testing agency. Appointments can also be scheduled online 24 hours a day, seven days a week at www.goAMP.com . The toll-free line is answered from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (Central Time) Monday through Thursday and 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on Friday. The candidate must be prepared to confirm a date and location for testing and to provide her/his Social Security number as a unique identification number.

A candidate who fails to schedule an appointment for examination by the end of either month's eligibility deadline must re-submit a complete application including examination fee to schedule an examination appointment.
