Fee Schedule
The Prevention Specialist Certification Board of Washington (PSCBW) approved the following fee structure:
| Category | Fee | Effective Date |
Certification Fee (for the initial portfolio application and Prevention Specialist Examination) | $200 | June 11, 2008 |
| Retake Fee for Prevention Specialist Examination | $90 | September 12, 2008 |
| Renewal Fee (part of the requirements every 2 years to maintain certification) | $75 | First established in 2002 |
| Recertification Fee (part of the requirements for those whose certification lapsed and are interested in reapplying for certification) | $150 | March 3, 2009 |
The PSCBW strives to keep the fees as low as possible; however, the fees must cover necessary costs. These costs include: application processing, purchase and processing of examination, shipping and handling, and credentialing and annual membership fees to the International Certification & Reciprocity Consortium.
