ALF CORE Competency Test Information

ALF CORE Training is a pre-requisite to taking the ALF CORE Competency Test. You cannot take the ALF CORE Competency Test without having completed ALF CORE Training. USF (University of South Florida) administers the ALF CORE Competency Test. The tests are given regionally during the year. Tests are no longer given at the end of each ALF CORE Training class.

At the conclusion of your ALF CORE Training Class, ALF students will receive testing application forms and a current list of testing dates. SPC (St. Petersburg College) will send your name and address to USF to certify you for the exam. It is the attendee’s responsibility to sign-up for a testing date with USF and to submit the funds for testing after ALF CORE Training is completed.

Exam Schedule:
The most current schedule is always posted on the USF website at www.alf.usf.edu.

Training Lists:
ALF Exam applicants cannot register for the exam until USF confirms they have completed training. Your ALF Core instructor at St. Petersburg College will send your name to USF once you have completed the class and received your certificate of attendance.

Each ALF Core Training student will complete an exam application. You will receive the exam application at the completion of the class. The student must complete the application and send it to USF.

USF must receive registration applications at least 10 business days before a test date and can only complete applicants registration if USF has received the certification from St. Petersburg College that the ALF Core Training student has completed the class.

USF must receive the training list from the ALF instructor one week before the test date. For example, students cannot complete training one day and then test the next. If your ALF Core Training class finishes close to the test date in that city, please note that there may not be enough time to register for that test date.
