To keep up with rising operating costs, DANB’s Board of Directors has approved increasing DANB exam fees by a small percentage, effective Jan. 1, 2020.
Those who are interested in taking any DANB exams may want to test in 2019, before fees increase. DANB has not raised exam fees since 2016.
“As a nonprofit organization, DANB takes its fiduciary responsibilities to exam candidates and certificants seriously,” explains DANB’s Executive Director Cindy Durley, M.Ed., MBA. “Our exam fee increases are made to keep up with rising operating costs. We are proud to deliver high-quality exams and certifications, and continuously look for ways to increase services while holding down prices.”
