The certification exam is administered on-line. Examinees are allowed two hours to complete the exam and should ensure they have two hours of uninterrupted time before starting. There are 40 multiple choice questions that use clinical vignettes related to application of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and assess examinees’ knowledge of the model.

The exam has a high pass rate, but those who did not pass can take the exam again after six months. See the FAQ on the Certification website for more information.
