Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has contracted with the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to develop the exams for both the Child Care Administrator License and the Child-Placing Agency Administrator License.
All test takers must have completed an application and received approval from HHSC prior to registering for an exam time. You can find more information on eligibility here.
To register for your exam, complete the following steps:
Register for either the Licensed Child-Care Administrator Exam or Licensed Child-Placing Agency Administrator Exam via UT Arlington’s Professional Development Program and pay a $50 nonrefundable exam fee.
Schedule a time to take your exam at one of the following testing locations (location should match the exam you registered for in Step 1):
Once you have completed Step 2 and scheduled your exam with the testing center, email profdev@uta.edu with your name, testing location, and anticipated testing date so that we may send the materials to the testing center. Failure to inform us of your testing date may prevent you from taking your exam.
Arrive at the testing center the day of your scheduled exam with a copy of your email confirmation that includes your assigned exam number (not your email receipt) and your driver’s license. You will have three hours to complete the online exam. Once you have completed your exam, you will be notified of your score within five business days via email.
