FAQs

Where should a licensure-by-examination application be submitted instead of CTS?

Submit the application through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) rather than applying directly to Continental Testing Services, Inc. (CTS).

What is the ID number used for during the CTS testing application?

After IDFPR submission, applicants receive an email with the subject “Authority to Sit for an Examination” that includes an ID #. This ID # must be used when applying at CTS and completing the testing process.

How does the validity period for the EPPP work?

Continental Testing sets a validity period in the Certemy platform. The EPPP must be taken within that validity period; otherwise, applicants need to reapply with a new application and supporting documents through the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation.
