It may be possible to receive the results for the written section immediately upon completion. However, it is dependent upon staffing, and individuals may have to wait 24 hours before getting their results back. Individuals will be notified immediately upon completion of the practical assessment, whether or not they have passed that portion of the exam. Individuals that do not pass the written or practical sections must wait two days before attempting the exam again. Currently there is no limit to the number of times an individual can take the exam.

Copies of these guides are available at the Wellness Center or can be downloaded from the RLS Website.
