On the day of your exam, you can call the test center as soon as they open to verify that your exam has been downloaded and is ready for you. Although download failures are rare, this can save you travelling to the center only to find no test awaiting once you arrive.

Before being allowed to enter the testing room, you will be required to show 2 forms of identification, including one government issued photo identification (driver's license, passport, or equivalent). Both must have signatures. Please make sure you bring your 2 forms of ID to the testing center.

You will take the test in a room that is dedicated to that purpose. There may be one or more additional people taking other tests in the same room. The room is typically monitored via video camera or an exam proctor to deter cheating.

You are not allowed to take anything into the testing center to assist you with your exam. No pencils, pens, pages, additional paper, or cell phones are allowed in the exam area of the testing center.

How early should I arrive at the testing center on the day of my test?

You should arrive at the testing center 15 minutes to half an hour before your scheduled appointment time. This extra time will give you an opportunity to sign in and to relax prior to beginning your exam. Occasionally, you will be offered the opportunity to begin your test early if no one else is using the test delivery station.

There will be a confidentiality agreement provided by the certification sponsor that you must acknowledge by clicking on an "I agree" button. This is basically a promise not to give out the questions you encountered in the exam.

When you finish the exam, your score will appear on the screen. Do not continue past that point until you have your official score sheet in hand. Although it's extremely unlikely that your score will be lost, better safe than sorry.

It's best to register several weeks or more in advance of the exam. There are a limited number of seats at each center and they often fill up. If space is available you may register onsite at a testing center for immediate testing (or retesting if you just barely failed an exam and want to go right back in and try again).

You register by calling one of the VUE registration numbers, by calling the testing center itself, or through Pearson VUE real time registration system . We suggest that several days after you have registered you should call back and confirm that your information is recorded correctly.

A confirmation letter is automatically sent via email after you register for an exam. You may print this email for your receipt.

You can reschedule or cancel an exam through Pearson VUE Web site, by contacting a VUE agent directly, and by calling or visiting the testing center directly. 

When you finish the exam, your score will appear on the screen. Do not continue past that point until you have your official score sheet in hand. Although it's extremely unlikely that your score will be lost, better safe than sorry.

Each score report from VUE is imprinted with a unique Registration # and Validation #, that can be used to verify the authenticity of the report. Simply enter these codes at http://www.vue.com/authenticate  and authenticity of the score report will be instantly verified.

After your exam, the VUE system transmits your results to the test sponsor where they are entered into your candidate record. The time between taking an exam and having the results registered in the sponsor's database depend on a number of factors. Depending on how often a sponsor updates their database and how often the test center transmits data, your records may be updated within a few hours or several days.

At this time, the only way to change your name, email address or other demographic information is to contact VUE directly or by email. Please send the following information:

Your first and last name: old/new one

Your address: old/new one

Your candidate ID

Your email address: old/new one

Just as the Dassault Systemes software solutions contain diverse capabilities and functionality so do the various industries that apply our solutions. As we interviewed various organizations during the development of our certification program it became very clear that not all industries or companies even within the same industry implement our solutions in a consistent manner. However, all did require or request a certain set of skills or knowledge's from the users of the software solutions. Our exams are based upon this set of common skills and knowledge's in order to provide the industry with a world wide benchmark to effectively measure users.

In order to create a flexible, low exam cost, and candidate friendly certification program we are offering our specialist and expert level exams as multiple choice questions (including scenario based questions) in a VUE testing center. Utilizing the VUE network of testing centers allow us to delivery cost competitive exams very close to the candidates home or work location in various countries throughout the world. By requiring a live test this would have prove to add a significant cost for each exam to the candidates. However, we do have live (hands-on) testing at the master level.

We respect your privacy and do not use your personal records for public communication. We may however ask you to explicitly authorize communications that would use these records.
