V&E Committees
An active technical network of volunteer subject matter experts contribute to ABC’s Testing Service. ABC has established a Validation & Examination (V&E) committee for each of our exam disciplines. These committees provide technical support for all aspects of exam development and validation. Over 80 industry professionals serve as technical subject matter experts on ABC V&E Committees to lend their knowledge and ensure our exams maintain the highest industry standards.
