There is no guarantee that the date / location will be available

will not find a seat so you need to plan accordingly as there is
no guarantee a seat will be available which is all based on
availability at each site.

sometimes unavoidable in the past. Past disruptions have
included exam location changes, inclement weather, and building

known as a Deferral**.

location is 30 days prior to the examination date. Deferrals are
not accepted less than 30 days prior to an examination date.

exam it is final and will not be reset to the previous date /
location just Deferred once inside 30 days from the scheduled
exam date. Make sure you know exactly when your expiration date
is as although your application may still be active when
Deferring, that does not guarantee you will be able to
reschedule your exam for a future date as it may be after your
application expiration date. If you are not sure contact
certify@softwarecertifications.org before proceeding with
the Deferral as once you Defer it is final and any funds
processed are not refundable or transferable.
