A small DANB exam fee increase approved in 2019 by DANB’s Board of Directors took effect Jan. 1, 2020. 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.”
