How to Register for Your CCO Exam
The Morrow Training Center conducts preparatory training for the written exam, performs the practical examination, and offers the option to take the computer-based written test at our facility.
Please note that to take either the written or practical exam, you must first register on the myCCO portal. The instructions below will walk you through this process.
01Before you start
Every CCO candidate needs a myCCO account before they can apply for anything. If you have tested with CCO before, or you are certified now, you register as an existing candidate rather than a new user — the account is how CCO ties the application to your record.
CCO publishes short step-by-step videos for both cases on the myCCO portal account page. Watch the one that matches you, get the account created, then come back here for the exam application.
02Registering for the exam

Go to nccco.org and select "Apply Now for CCO Tests".
