Examination fees for eligible applicants are non-refundable and may
not be transferred to a different applicant. The application fee will
be returned only if the applicant is not eligible for the examination
or if the examination is cancelled.
After an applicant is approved and scheduled for an examination, one
voluntary transfer to a different examination date/location is allowed
at no cost to the applicant. The voluntary transfer request must be
received by Certification Services before the application deadline
date. After one voluntary transfer, no additional transfer requests
will be accepted. The applicant is required to submit a new application
and pay a new examination fee. This applies to voluntary transfers for
any reason.
Approved applicants will receive a letter prior to the examination confirming
their enrollment and providing information about the examination location,
time, procedures and study references.
