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passed an exam may sit a newer version of the exam that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.
