The CIW Exam Retake Policy outlines the conditions under which a candidate
may retake a CIW exam. A waiting period between retakes of a single
certification exam maintains the security of the exam and strengthens the value
of the CIW certification. Each CIW exam is defined by a unique exam ID (e.g.,
IDO-410). A retake is any subsequent sitting of an exam with the same CIW exam
ID by the same candidate at any authorized testing center.
In the event that a candidate passes a CIW exam, the candidate will not be
allowed to retake that CIW exam. If the CIW exam objectives change, the exam ID
changes to reflect the new exam version. Candidates who have passed an exam may
sit a newer version of the exam that may have the same title but a different ID
number.
In the event that a candidate fails a CIW exam on his or her first attempt, a
24-hour waiting period is required between the first and second sittings of that
CIW exam. Candidates are required to wait for a period of no less than thirty
(30) calendar days from the date of the previous sitting before any third or
subsequent sitting of the same CIW exam.
Exams administered in any ways that do not comply with the CIW Exam Retake
Policy shall be considered invalid and ineligible for a refund.
In the event that a candidate has violated this Exam Retake Policy, the
candidate may be deemed ineligible to register for or schedule any CIW exam for
a minimum period of twelve (12) months from the date of such determination.
In addition, any candidate determined to have violated the CIW Exam Retake
Policy may be subject to any or all of the following:
- Denial of a specific CIW certification for a period of twelve (12) months
from the date of such determination;
- Revocation of a specific CIW certification, if such certification had been
previously granted to the candidate;
- Revocation of all CIW certifications previously granted to the candidate;
- Ineligibility to receive any CIW certification for a minimum of twelve
(12) months from the date of such determination;
- Any other appropriate actions, including legal remedies, deemed necessary
or appropriate to enforce the CIW Exam Retake Policy.
