CE TESTS

Now you can either (1) print the CE Test and mail it with your payment to NIU, or (2) simply click on the URL to NIU to take the test and pay online.

Completed test and $20 fees go directly to NIU, and scores of 70% and higher qualify for indicated contact hour(s) of P.A.C.E. credit(s). Allow six weeks to receive P.A.C.E. certificate(s).
