Cancellations and reschedule fee

If you would like to cancel and reschedule your examination, Pearson VUE charges a $75 USD fee per occurrence (may be subject to additional local tax).

If the test center is closed and the exam appointment is canceled by Pearson VUE the cancelation fee will be waived automatically.

Candidates whose programs will expire within the next 60 days must make an extension request by submitting a new case in the CCMS.

For expirations greater than 60 days, an extension may be purchased in CCMS for an additional fee.

All cases will be reviewed and approved on an individual basis.

Please refer to the Certification Candidate Handbook for additional details.
