UPDATE EFFECTIVE 6/8/20:
The Commission is aware that many people have had problems scheduling the license exam since the exam sites reopened on May 1. We have been sharing all known problems with PSI so proper changes can be made.
- One specific problem is unanswered calls when exam candidates call 800-345-6559, which is the number PSI has always advertised and is included in the Candidate Handbook.
- To assist with this problem, PSI is now offering another number for Alabama exam candidates to call when scheduling the license exam. This number is 888-818-5824.
- This new number is currently identified on the homepage of the Commission's website along with other important information associated with changes resulting from COVID-19.
