After you've decided which ISC2 certification you're going to earn, it's time to register for your exam. Follow these steps:
- If you are already an ISC2 Member or ISC2 Candidate, log in to your account. If you do not already have an ISC2 account, you will need to create one.
- From the Certification menu, select the certification exam you want to take.
- Select your exam purchase option and click “Buy Now.”

IMPORTANT: You must enter your information exactly as it appears on the identification (ID) you will present at the test center. If it is not an exact match, you will not be able to take your test and you will not be reimbursed for any fees paid.
- Once your form is submitted you will be redirected to the Pearson website to finalize your exam appointment.
Your scheduled exam will be displayed in two places, your Pearson Dashboard and the Courses and Exams section of your ISC2 account.

devices. When you arrive for your appointment at the test center you may be
subject to an additional security scan utilizing both infrared and metal detection
wands. These devices are specifically designed to identify small cameras and
other hidden electronics that may compromise exam confidentiality.
