A request for exam accommodations must be submitted in writing to the CAMRT. The request must be submitted before the exam registration deadline of the sitting that the individual wishes to attend. An application should be submitted for both first write and any potential re-writes of the exam. We strongly recommend that you seek accommodation prior to writing an exam, if you feel this applies to you.
Accommodations should be requested before your exam attempt. An exam accommodation might be for you if you have a medical reason or disability where you might find writing the certification exam difficult without an exam accommodation. Exam accommodation aims to remove barriers that might disadvantage a candidate on the exam because of a disability or medical condition and provide candidates an opportunity to accurately demonstrate their knowledge. Accommodation does not remove requirements or alter fundamentally the content of an exam.
Please ensure that the forms submitted are clear, and contain all the information we need to properly review your request for accommodation and enact an exam accommodation(s) in a timely manner. All requests will be handled on a confidential and individual basis
Please complete the Exam Accommodations Request Form and attach required documentation as listed below. Send it to the CAMRT Manager of Certification before the exam registration deadline of the sitting you wish to attend.
- a clear statement of the nature of the disability and its severity; CAMRT DISABILITY INFORMATION FORM (in effect for the January 2025 certification exam)
- a clear and concise description of the exam accommodations requested;
- documentation demonstrating that similar accommodations were provided to the candidate during their education program
- supporting documentation, from a healthcare or counseling professional which:
- indicates an assessment was done on the candidate;
- describes the candidate’s current functional limitation;
- supports the request for the specific accommodations made by the candidate
Note:
All medical documentation must be current within six (6) months of the date of application to write the exam. If the medical documentation, i.e. if the report or letter is not current within six (6) months of the date of the candidate’s application, the applicant must include a letter from a healthcare or counselling professional indicating that they have reviewed the supporting medical documentation and concur that the accommodations set out within it remain valid for the candidate for the purposes of the CAMRT certification exam on the date of the proposed sitting of the exam.
In making their decision, the CAMRT must ensure that granting the accommodations request will not compromise the validity and integrity of the certification exam.
