ANNOUNCED NOVEMBER 13, 2024 - On November 12, 2024 the Board's assessment provider, Prometric, identified a technical issue that sent unintended email communications which may have created confusion. The recently identified system error inadvertently sent out incorrect examination result notifications, including a "NO SHOW" examination status. We are actively working with Prometric to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Please be assured that Prometric will correct your exam status. We understand that this may have caused some confusion, and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have created. At this time, please do not contact BPELSG while Prometric works to rectify this situation. If, after November 29, 2024 you find that your results are not correctly reflected in BPELSG Connect platform, please contact the BPELSG Examination Development Unit at (916) 999-3644 or through email at BOEXAM@dca.ca.gov
We hope to have this resolved in the next few days. Should you have any questions, please contact Prometric's Candidate Care Department at 1-800-853-6769; operation hours are from Monday to Friday, 8:00am - 6:00pm EST. .
