In 2008, Software Certifications selected Prometric, a world leader in assessment testing services, as its partner for the administration of certification examinations. Prometric's international network of testing centers provides the framework needed to support Software Certifications global needs.

Seats are based on availability at all locations.

NOTE: Candidates must first register through the Customer Portal. After receiving a Prometric Exam Code and waiting at least 72 hours, then and only then can a candidate schedule their exam with Prometric. Candidates can not simply go to Prometric to schedule their exam.

Prometric's test center network affords site security and content integrity through a combination of live proctors, closed-circuit television systems and biometric security procedures.
