Certification Examination

All of the PAC certification examinations require a passing grade of 80% or better on our competency-based proctored examinations. Our examinations assess the educational proficiency in clinical and technical knowledge required of nurses or other professionals practicing in the post-acute care environment. The proctored examination is available to be taken any time (24/7) after registration and acceptance of the application for the exam. Applicants can take the exam based on their academic preparedness obtained from any institution or program. InsPAC offers preparatory courses for all the PAC certifications for a fee, but the InsPAC courses are not mandatory or a requisite for taking the certification exam. Test takers are free to prepare for the exam with any other vendor. CEUs are not offered to applicants who acquire the certification by taking the competency-based assessment examination without completion of the PAC preparatory courses.
