  • There’s a 2-hour time limit for Part A, a 1-hour time limit for Part B, and a 1-hour time limit for Part C

Please note that the exams offered do not include live, in-person training in conjunction with the exam. We encourage you to watch our recorded training videos that were hosted on the Zoom platform and instructed by Alice Quinn from IDOH in the spring of 2021 – the links can be found in the ‘study materials’ section at the bottom of this page.

Additionally, we recommend reviewing the State 410 rule in its entirety prior to taking the exam, as well as going through the practice exam online.
