Welcome to the Home of ASTACAP Online Examinations

ASTACAP’s online presence is an important part of our mission. Having established robust pedagogy and student learning benefits over 15 years of live examinations, we want to be sure the examination process (adjudication) is available to all ASTA members and their students. This is the purpose of the online examinations.

The non-competitive philosophy, skill-based goals, and flexible curriculum and repertoire are the center of the ASTACAP program. This is consistent no matter how one takes the examination. Find more details in the ASTACAP Handbook.

The online exam portal is currently OPEN! The portal will be open for online submissions from November 1 - November 30. The next online exam period is June 2019.

The fees for online exams can be downloaded below.
