Get Certified: AOCNP® Certification

AOCNP® examinations are offered throughout the year at more than 230 computer-based testing centers. Candidates may apply at any time; however, incomplete applications will not be processed until all required information is provided. AOCNP® candidates should allow 4-6 weeks following application to receive their Authorization to Test (ATT), which will confirm eligibility to test and contain the information needed to make a testing appointment. The ATT will be valid for 90 days. It is the candidate's responsibility to schedule a testing appointment at a CBT center and take the test prior to the expiration of the ATT.

The content of the AOCNP® Test is based on the AOCNP® Test Blueprint. The blueprint was developed based on the results of a role delineation study of advanced oncology nursing practice conducted in 2009. The test consists of 165 multiple-choice items, of which 125 count toward the candidate's score and 40 are "pretest" or experimental items. Each item consists of a question or incomplete statement followed by four answers or completions.
