Course Challenge Requirements:

Any individual who wishes to challenge any course may do so by submitting a request. The request form should be mailed to the FACM Treasurer with payment (see payment fees below). Course material for the course ordered will be mailed to the individual for studying prior to taking the course test. The individual will have 30 days from the shipping of material to schedule for a proctor to administer the test. To arrange for a proctor the individual must submit to the Education Chairman in writing or via e-mail when they are ready to take the test. If the individual fails to submit for a proctor in the allotted time frame they will then have to submit all over again for a proctor minus any fees for material already received. The Proctor must be from another county and cannot be from the same office or county to avoid any conflict. If the individual passes a certificate will be issued to that person. If they fail they can re-submit to take the course again minus the fees for course material after 60 days from notice of failure.

  1. Each proctor will be approved by the FACM board and will be listed on the web site of Approved Proctors.

  2. The Proctor will be notified by the Education Chairman and will arrange for a suitable time and place to give the test.

  3. The Proctor will be mailed the test and will be required to mail it back to the Education Chairman as soon as the test is complete.

  4. The Education Chairman will grade the test and notify the individual if they passed or fail.

  5. The Proctor will only be there to administer the test, not to answer questions from the student. This is the same rule all instructors follow when giving the test for DOR. The Proctor will not have an answer key, only the Educational Chairman will. If there are questions they can only pertain to how to answer a question or if they don't understand a Proctor can try and re-address the question to where the student may be able to answer it.
