EIPA Registration Process
Important EIPA Exam Registration Update
Effective immediately, there are changes to the registration process for the EIPA Knowledge and Performance Exams administered by the TASK12 Project.
These changes are stipulated by the Boys Town National Research Hospital EIPA Diagnostic Center, which owns and oversees the EIPA exam. The TASK12 Project is an approved Local Test Administrator (LTA) for the EIPA exam, but is a distinct entity from the EIPA Diagnostic Center. The TASK12 team will continue to administer exams for registrants from member states.
Key Changes to Registration
New Registration Process: Registrants will now register and pay for exams directly with the EIPA Diagnostic Center and select their exam date/time slot at the time of registration.
Registration closes five full days (to the hour) before the test date/time. This also marks the deadline to withdraw from a reserved test slot. Registrants are responsible for reviewing all policies before registering.
Quarterly Schedule: Registration and exams will follow a structured quarterly schedule:
| Quarter | Registration Opens | Exam Months |
|---|---|---|
| One | December 15 | January, February, March |
| Two | March 15 | April, May, June |
| Three | June 15 | July, August, September |
| Four | September 15 | October, November, December |
The fiscal year of EIPA written and performance exam dates administered by the TASK12 Project will continue to be posted on the TASK12 website. We encourage you to visit our site for the most current information, to add a registration reminder to your calendar, and to sign up for email reminders.
