ACTFL Certification Candidate Personal OPI Process

Through an agreement with Language Testing International (LTI) we have completed the update to the account ACTFL Certification Candidates (non ILR testers) so that the candidates can enter in a code to get the special OPI price to receive the $100 agreed price plus $20 for remote proctoring which makes the all-in price to the candidates $120. If the candidate does not enter the code, they will be charged the standard price of $145 for an official OPI plus the proctoring fee for a total fee of $165.

ACTFL will provide the code to these candidates and advise them how to place their order through LTI’s website.

This year’s code: “ACTFLOPI2022” applies the $45 discount against the test but does not apply to the remote proctoring fees.

Background information

ACTFL requested that new raters/testers pay LTI directly for their OPIs. LTI created the workflow so that it shows up on the LTI website and candidate can order and pay for the test. These tests will flow to the remote proctoring company. LTI will capture the trainer’s name entered by the candidates.
