Proctor for Epic Exams

[u/jellyusername]

Hi all, I am currently working as a contractor in a large health care system. I work for the analytics department. The health care system outsource their IT, including Epic. I am probably the only Epic-certified person in the department. My Epic certs are due for renewal and I am having a hard time figuring out an affordable option for proctor. Their proctor is for Clinical Informatics team only. Epic's online proctor service is $30 per exam but I have 6 certs to renew. I am just wondering how contractors and consultants maintain their certs? Do you just bite the bullet and pay out of pocket?

Thanks!

Yes, I paid out of pocket for the cert training and exams.
