Certification Credentials
Exam Scoring
Paper-based testing (PBT) exams are scanned using a Scantron scoring machine and the ScanTools Prism software. Bubble sheets are then imported into the Meazure platform for scoring. Exams are tracked by a unique Booking ID and Exam Form ID. For PBT exams, candidates will receive exam results via the Meazure platform and an email notification. Exam results include score, form benchmark, and pass/fail decision. A breakdown of exam results by domain is only provided to unsuccessful candidates.
Computer-based testing (CBT) exams are scored upon exam submission in the Meazure platform. Exams are tracked by a unique Booking ID and Exam Form ID. For CBT exams, immediate feedback is delivered via the Meazure portal and an email notification. Exam results include score, form benchmark, and pass/fail decision. A breakdown of exam results by domain is only provided to unsuccessful candidates.
When a breakdown of exam results by domain is provided to an unsuccessful candidate, the following disclaimer is included:
“Examination content area scores are not used to determine pass/fail status, but are provided to offer a general indication of your performance and may be used to assist you in evaluating your relative areas of strengths and weakness in each content area. Each examination is designed to measure your overall performance only. All grades for online and paper/pencil exams will be added under the “History” tab of the candidate portal. Candidates will receive an email notifying them when their grade has been added to the candidate portal. Each test site receives a score report of the entire test group (for those that Opted In) for both paper/pencil or online. All of the scores/results are stored in AMCA’s protected database.”
Candidates can access their exam results at any time. To access, candidates should go to
ID Cards
Certification cards will be processed and mailed back to the test site within 10 business days after the completion of grading. Certification ID Cards are used as another form of validation of the credential earned.
Digital Badges
What is a digital badge?
The AMCA Certification Badge is a digital representation of one’s skills, high level of standards, achievements, and ability to perform specific job tasks attached to passing the AMCA Certification Exam. Because digital badges are issued and verified online, unlike paper certificates, they make it easy for you to demonstrate your competencies to employers and peers. Each digital badge has a unique URL that can be shared electronically via social media, in your email signature, or on a job application. From that URL, an employer can tell:
- The name of your certification
- The test requirements
- That this is third party validation of a skill set specific to the national exam
- When you earned this and whether this expires
These badges are verified; they’re much more valuable because AMCA stands behind your certification and attests to your achievement. And did you know, according to a recent LinkedIn study, profiles with certifications and badges receive six times the number of profile views? That’s powerful currency in a job search. That is why we have partnered with Credly’s Acclaim platform to provide you with a digital version of your credentials. Digital badges can be used in email signatures or digital resumes, and on social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. This digital image contains verified metadata that describes your qualifications and the process required to earn them.
