COVID19 Response
The ABC is monitoring the current situation regarding COVID19. We are aware of the hardships that the current situation will create for our certificants. We will continue to work with candidates and certificants to ensure that they are not penalized as a result of shutdowns, work-stoppages, meeting cancellations, etc. As the situation progresses, the Board will be making decisions on how to proceed with regards to recertification deadlines and application extensions.
If you anticipate sitting for an examination or field test, we encourage you to read our Exam Sitting Guidelines. The ABC will strive to offer certification and field testing examinations in a manner that complies with the most currently accepted healthy and safety practices.
If you have further questions, please contact the Registrar’s Office via e-mail at abcregistrar@criminalistics.com.
