CPNE estimated date

Just curious as to what wait time you all have experienced from the time you submitted your application and when you actually got a date for the cpne. I'm in south Florida and I've heard some people mention that the southern region has a longer waiting period as oppose to other regions. .. thanks!

SPAC (southern region) has fewer sites overall, plus one that only has the CPNE once a month, so yes, it will likely take longer to get a date there. NPAC has the most sites.

Thanks. Would I be eligible to apply at any region?

You can apply to whatever rpac you want. I applied to npac at the end of march, got a date mid April, and tested June 28th.

Yes, but you may only apply to one region, not multiple. You can apply to multiple/all sites within your chosen region, though. Good luck! :-)

Npac was quick! I got a date in 15 days after I submitted my app

I applied to the mpac (Texas). It took 6 months to get a date.
