How Does the HCCP Online Exam Work?
NAHB created the online HCCP exam in 2021, and US Housing Consultants distributes and oversees the exams.
How Does the Process Work For Online HCCP Exams?
Once you purchase the test, someone at US Housing Consultants will contact you
within 24 hours of your purchase with information about taking the test; this will include
a link, a unique code, and instructions for the test. We will also provide essential
support for anyone with questions about accessing NAHB’s online HCCP Exam.

For any attendee or client that has questions about testing, whether they should register as a first-time test taker or if they should register as a retake, or scheduling their online HCCP exam once purchased, please contact NAHB directly at hccpinfo@nahb.org before purchasing the exam.
The HCCP exam should be scheduled and completed within 30 days of purchase.
Note: US Housing Consultants will not be able to refund any money once the Access Code has been provided. If the tester pays for a first-time exam, but NAHB later advises they are a retake test taker, the tester will be required to pay another fee for a separate code.
