A. Cancellations must be made 24 hours prior to the class schedule date/time (not including weekends). This can be accomplished on line (by OSCA/ASAP members) www.osca.com. All cancellations made outside of this time frame will not be processed and will result in full forfeiture of the training/testing fee.

Q. How long are the CBT courses?
A. The length of the CBT courses varies from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the course. The time taken to complete a course may vary because students work at their own pace.

Q. If a student fails a CBT course, is the student permitted to retest? Who pays for the re-test?
A. Students are only permitted to take the same CBT course 2 times in one day. On the registration form, the DER must check off the appropriate authorization for retest. If the student is to pay for the re-test, he/she must pay with a money order made payable to OSCA.

Q. What if I lose my OSCA badge?
A. Students must bring in a $5.00 money order made payable to OSCA as well as a VALID government issued ID for a replacement OSCA badge. Alternatively, the DER may fax a signed letter on company letterhead authorizing payment for the replacement card.

Q. Can I register a student to take more than one CBT course at 4:00 p.m.?
A. No, because the CBT lab closes at 6 p.m. The 4 p.m. training allows for only one CBT course with NO RE-TEST. When registering a student to take more than one CBT course in a day, please register for each course and select a different time of the day allowing the individual to complete the registered training.
