Exam Confidentiality

All specialty certification examinations are nondisclosed. Candidates agree to keep the contents of the exams confidential and therefore may not discuss the specific exam content with anyone except the IIA's Certification Department. Unauthorised disclosure of exam material will be considered a breach of the Code of Ethics and could result in disqualification of the candidate or other appropriate censure.

Code of Ethics

A candidate agrees to abide by the Code of Ethics established by the Institute. 

Continuing Professional Education

Upon certification, a candidate is required to maintain their knowledge and skills and stay abreast of improvements and current developments.

Eligibility Period

The Institute's approval of a candidate's application and eligibility allows the candidate to participate in a specialty certification program for two years from the date that the application is approved. In addition, each time a candidate sits for the exam, the candidate's eligibility period is extended two years from the date of the last exam date taken.

A candidate's eligibility expires only if the candidate does not take a single exam within any two-year period.
