The CCGP test is available for you to take online at Pearson VUE test centers in the United States and U.S. Territories. If approved, you have a period of 6 months from receipt of your Authorization-to-Test email from Pearson VUE to schedule and take the CCGP test.

You can only schedule a test date at a Pearson VUE location once you have that email.
