The option to challenge a course is available for Business Valuation (BV) and Machinery and Technical Specialties (ME/ MTS) courses.
The price for challenging a course is the same as attending in person and includes all the course materials. To successfully "challenge" or test out of a BV or MTS course means you studied the course material on your own (without attending the course) and passed the course examination. Once you successfully challenge a course, you will be eligible to enroll or challenge the next course in the POV series.
Students have one (1) year from the date of their registration to review the materials and complete the proctored exam. All challenge examinations must be proctored - see “Proctor Requirements” below for eligibility information. ASA now offers online proctored exam sessions every month. Visit the upcoming class schedule to register (look for ASAEXAM-ONL). Courses may ONLY be challenged in sequential order. Retake/challenge applications and Proctor/ Exam requests may take up to ten (10) business days to process so please plan accordingly.
To set up an MTS Course Challenge or Retake Exam please complete and submit the Retake / Challenge Application.
