VQAS Registration Process reminders

If you have taken the VQAS before, when registering please use the email address you have on record with VDDHH. If you are a new candidate, please use your most current email address.

The registration system will display only the type(s) of assessments you are currently eligible for:

• You must have passed the VQAS Written Assessment within the past three years OR have a current valid VQAS Screening Level in order to register for the VQAS Performance Assessment.
• If your current VQAS Screening Level will expire within 120 days and there are no test dates available before your level expiration date, you may be required to re-establish eligibility by taking and passing the Written Assessment again.
• The system will not display assessment slots that occur after your current level expiration date.

Remember that:

• You cannot be scheduled for more than one Performance Assessment every 6 months.
• You cannot be scheduled for a Performance Assessment if your results from a previous assessment are pending.

If no assessment slots are displayed it might be because

• There are no available assessment slots at this time. Check back around the 10^th of the next month for newly available slots to be posted.
• You are not eligible for the assessment you are interested in. Please contact the VQAS Coordinator for assistance.
• Your email address was not recognized by the registration system. Please contact the VQAS Coordinator for assistance.

The VQAS Coordinator can be contacted at qas@vddhh.virginia.gov or by calling 804-662-9712.
