WHY ARE SOME GPN TESTING LOCATIONS SO EXPENSIVE?
- First, note that we don’t set the exam fees for our Examiners
- More experienced Examiners tend to charge more than less experienced Examiners
- The published exam fees include all of the Examiner’s travel expenses, and some of our Examiners travel great distances (at significant expense) to reach the exam site
