AAAE Certification & Exam Process

With this enhanced platform, you can expect:

• Faster access to certification study materials and resources.
• Greater flexibility with testing, allowing you to take your exam when ready, without scheduling in advance or waiting for an invitation.
• Quicker delivery of exam scores and results following your examinations.
• Easy access to your awarded certificates and certification records.
• A centralized view of your certification activities and progress.
• The ability to review, track, and submit Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits to maintain your A.A.E.
• Attend On-Demand trainings.
• Browse a comprehensive catalog of training and professional development offerings to discover courses and programs that align with your interests and career goals.

Our goal is to make managing your certification simpler and more convenient by providing a single location for all your certification-related information and activities so we have created a Resource Guide to help you navigate the new platform. The resource guide is extensive and includes FAQs, exam instructions and guidelines and tips on how to navigate the platform.

All Candidates must follow the Exam Guidelines prior to taking any certification exam. Failure to adhere to these guidelines could result in AAAE invalidating your exam.

Get Started

• To start or continue your certification journey, pay the applicable program fee and complete all eligibility requirements. Review the requirements for each program here.

• Log into the certification platform. We use Single Sign On, so you will be redirected to AAAE.org to sign in with your AAAE username and password and then redirected back to the platform. (If you do not remember your AAAE.org sign on, please use the forgot password link to reset your account. If you have not signed in to our system before, enter your email address as your username and click the Forgot Password link to receive an email and create a password.) You may want to ask your IT department to whitelist this URL.

• Once you are logged in, you can navigate to your Learning Center, where you will find all of your activities related to current or past certifications that you have pursued. This is also where you will launch your certification exam, when you are ready to take it.

• If payment is required for a retake attempt, please use the appropriate link below to make the payment.
