The CFP Board has closed all testing sites for its CFP certification examination. All exam registrants affected by the closures will be rescheduled at no additional cost for the July 2020 CFP exam, the group said in a release.
The March exam was scheduled to take place from last Tuesday, March 10, through Tuesday, March 17. A CFP spokesperson said that 19 test centers closed on Monday, affecting 142 candidates.
The next exam is currently scheduled to take place from July 7 to July 14. The CFP Board said it will follow up with all those affected by its decision after registration opens for the July exam.

The CFP Board said its decision to close the testing sites was made by its testing administrator, Prometric, which is closing all of its testing centers in North America for at least the next 30 days in an effort to protect the health and well-being of staff and clients during the COVID-19 outbreak.
