Developing and maintaining credible and relevant certificate and certification programs requires a significant investment of resources. Certificate and certification exams are the result of a multi-step process that follows a standard practice of review, every three to five years, to determine if changes in the industry have affected the program’s body of knowledge. The most recent reviews generated recommended changes to the structure (content domains) of the exams only. The source materials will not change.
