- A candidate who is scheduled to graduate from an accredited high school or GED program (or other equivalency test recognized by the candidate’s state or residency) may take the certification exam and receive a provisional certification up to 12 months before graduation as long as all certification eligibility requirements are met. A provisional certification is a placeholder and is intended to allow candidates to take certification exams as near to the time they complete their training even though they have not yet met the eligibility requirement of holding a high school diploma or its equivalency needed to receive a standard (full) certification.
