Frequently asked questions

What if I do not pass the Certification Exam?

If you do not pass the Certification exam:

  • You are allowed up to six attempts to pass the exam within a two-year period from your initial attempt.
  • You are not required to take the next consecutive exam administration immediately after an unsuccessful attempt. You may choose when to retake the exam within the allowed two-year window.
  • You may choose to retake the exam during its regularly scheduled and posted administration period during the two-year window.
  • It is important to utilize this flexibility to adequately prepare for your next attempt to maximize your chances of passing.
