ACVR is offering the DI and EDI certifying and preliminary examinations twice annually for any eligible candidate. With this change, the exam registration deadlines have been modified and the past registration deadline of January 31st is no longer valid. Please take careful note of this information so you do not miss the registration window.

Fall exam (August)

Registration will be available from April 1 – April 30 of the same year.

Spring exam (February/March)

Registration will be available from October 1 to October 30 the year prior (e.g. in 2024 for the 2025 exam)

Please ensure you register for the correct examination.

 Registration process:

To register for the exam you will need to purchase the correct exam type. This process will prompt the completion of registration information – this is no longer a two-step process.

You will receive a receipt for your purchase that is your confirmation of registration.

Council accepts all candidates for the examination. That may take 3-4 weeks following the registration due date. As soon as you are approved to sit the exam, you will receive an email from the examination committee with additional information.
