Candidate Eligibility Requirements

  1. The candidate must currently reside in a qualified country. Residents of the U.S. and Canada are not eligible. As an example, residents of China who study in the U.S. or Canada are not eligible to apply or utilize the discount program.
  2. If the candidate leaves the qualified country, the candidate will lose eligibility for the discount program.
  3. Candidates must write their examinations within a qualified country. If a candidate sits for an examination at an examination center in the U.S., Canada, or any other ineligible country, additional fees will be assessed to bring the amount paid to full fee.
  4. The candidate must adhere to all stated requirements for the examination.
  5. If examination discipline penalties are imposed, the candidate will permanently lose eligibility for the discount program.

Eligible candidates will see applicable discounted rates when registering for an exam or module via our online registration system.
