How to Become Board Certified

Exam Application

First you must complete the application process and receive authorisation to test; you may not test without doing so. The application review process is approximately two weeks.

You can access the Certification Application online.

Taking the Exam

Testing is administered in most countries by Computer Base Testing (CBT) worldwide all year. Testing is offered at most centres Monday through Saturday except for holidays. You can see if there’s a testing centre in your area at www.Prometric.com/ASIS (select “locate a test center”.) Keep in mind that you will not be allowed to make any testing arrangement until you’ve applied and received authorization to test.
