CJP Examination

The CJP Examination is a comprehensive on-line examination that tests the candidate’s knowledge of Job Order Contracting in the 5 functional areas covered by the candidates experience and the JOC training program.

Upon completion of the mandatory training candidates will be provided login credentials to attempt the CJP Certification Exam. Login credentials are valid for no more than two-weeks from the time they are issued.

Upon logging into the exam system, candidates are allotted 2 hours to complete the exam, which consists of 100 multiple-choice questions. To successfully pass the exam a candidate must answer 75% of the questions correctly. The candidate’s score is displayed immediately upon submitting their exam.

Questions on the CJP exam are based on the materials covered in the CJP training program and commonly available JOC knowledge. Exam questions are developed, reviewed and updated by a combination of JOC subject matter experts, including owners, practitioners and educators.

Retesting
A candidate who is unsuccessful at their first exam attempt will be allowed one retest attempt using their original exam login credentials. There is no waiting period required between the first and second exam attempts; however, the first retest is only available until the candidate’s login credentials expire.

Additional retests may be attempted by a candidate who is unsuccessful at their first two attempts under the following conditions:

• Submit a written request for additional exam attempts along with the required retest fee to the CJP Certification Board
• If additional attempts are granted, the candidate will be provided with a new set of exam login credentials after a 30-day waiting period. These credentials are only valid for a 2-week period from issuance.
• No more than two additional retest attempts will be allowed without retaking the course.

Any candidate who is unsuccessful at the CJP certification exam after the two additional retest attempts will be allowed to register for and retake the mandatory training and exam within the next year without having to reapply for the CJP credential. After one year the candidate must reapply in order to continue.
