This information is located in the practical candidate handbook. Candidates MUST use only DISINFECTING WIPES during the practical exams. Spray disinfectants will NOT be permitted. In addition, simulated hand sanitizer and antiseptics will no longer be accepted. Please make sure you purchase supplies well in advance of your scheduled exam, to insure you have the required supplies.
Candidates that do not have proper hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes and/or antiseptic, will be deducted points as of November 1. 2021. REMINDER - EFFECTIVE 7/1/2020: Candidates MUST use only DISINFECTING WIPES during the practical exams. Spray disinfectants will NOT be permitted.
