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sit a newer version of the exam that may have the same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.
