The Members of APP

There are about 250 active members of the Association. Dues are $40/year and are paid annually. The same dues apply to Sustaining, Associate, and Certified Members. If you only plan to take the written tests, you will charged a test fee. If you plan to take written test and/or practical test, you will be charged a test fee. Test fees are $15 per clinic. This fee is charged by clinic and is a flat fee regardless of how many subjects you test in that clinic. If you plan to test at a clinic, you must pay a test fee up front before you do any testing. Test fees are not refundable. No scores are entered for a clinic that you test and did not pay a test fee.
