Exams are paid for in advance. Each order will be associated with an invoice number. That invoice number will automatically appear in the invoice drop-down when scheduling the class or on the Invoice Remaining tab.  The invoices can only be accessed using the FIFO (First in First out) method and will alert you if the wrong invoice is selected.

On Line Certification Exam cost: Please refer to the policies and procedures document.

Certification Policies and Procedures 


  •      You can also purchase Certification Exam Credits through the IPC Online Store.

Please Note: You must be an IPC MIT/CIT or an approved buyer with rights from your company to purchase the online certification exam credits. All buyers will have to pre-register with IPC in order to purchase online certification exam credits.

Any MIT/CIT can place an order. If someone other than a trainer is responsible for the placing orders (Buyer) for your site, IPC needs to update their record with the appropriate role so that they can make the purchase. This request can be made through the  certification help desk.

Orders are address specific. The exams will only be available for the site where the purchaser is located. Distributors and anyone purchasing for an address other than their own, need to purchase through our customer service department.  Customer Service can be reached through contact.us@ipc.org or by calling IPC Customer Service at  +1-847-615-7100 Option 1.

IPC members can order with a PO or pay immediately using a credit card. Non-members can only place an order using a credit card.

Once an order is placed, it will take up to 2 business hours for the funds to be available in the portal for use.
