Certification
If registering for the ICDL® (formerly PCIE®) certification option, you must do so at the same time as course registration. The exam is in the form of a 35-minute test. It has 36 questions, and your score indicates your skill level. At least 75% correct answers are needed to pass. Merely taking the course is not sufficient to achieve a maximum score. The exam must be both scheduled and then taken online within 4 weeks following the start of your session, under the supervision of an ORSYS approved examiner.
