VNLA Reopens Certified Horticulturist Exam!

The Virginia Certified Horticulturist (VCH) exam is now available!

To make the VCH exam available year-round, the VNLA partnered with Pearson Vue Testing Centers. You can now register and schedule to take the VCH exam on a date and time that is convenient for you.

Two options are available when you register for the exam:

Choose to take the exam at a Pearson location closest to you.

You will receive an email from Pearson inviting you to visit the Pearson site to schedule a date to take the exam.

Choose to take the exam remotely via a remote Pearson proctor.

This option requires you to set a date and time to take the exam. The exam and remote proctor will be available only during the time you select.

If you choose the remote option, you will receive 2 emails from onlineproctoring@strasz.com. The first email is related to setting up your computer. It explains how to test webcam, device camera, microphone, etc.

The second email provides you a link to the exam. This link will only work on the date and time you scheduled and only when you are connected with a remote proctor.

Use the following link to register, pay and choose one of the options described above: https://reg-vnla.epic-exam.com/register

If you have questions, please email the VNLA: info@vnla.org
