EIPA Testing Dates

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.
