How to Become an AACE Volunteer Grader

Becoming a volunteer grader with AACE International is a rewarding way to contribute to the certification program while earning recertification credits. Follow the steps below to join our team of graders:

1. Certification
   To qualify as a grader, you must hold an active certification in the exam area you wish to grade. For those interested in grading CCP, CEP, DRMP, EVP, PRMP, or PSP exams, passing the memo portion of the exam is also required.
2. Submit the Confidentiality Agreement
   All prospective graders are required to sign a certification confidentiality agreement. Please use the link provided below to complete and submit this form.
