Yes. To be eligible for a waiver, you must have one or more years of Cúram project experience. This must be verified by a Cúram Software employee. The Training Waiver page contains more information about the experience required to apply for a waiver, the application process, and the region-specific fees.   
 

 

To apply for a training waiver, please contact GLS. The Training Waiver page describes the information you will need to provide when applying for a waiver and how soon you can expect a response.  

 

The fee for a training waiver is region-specific, and is available on the Training Waiver page. This information is updated on the first working day of each month to reflect currency fluctuations.
 

To become certified, you have to pass the certification exam. The procedure for attempting the exam depends on when you attended the classroom training course:

• Less than 90 days ago – You have one free attempt at the exam using the provided voucher number.
• Greater than 90 days, but less than one year ago – You can attempt the exam but must pay the exam fee (US$150).
• Greater than one year ago – You must retake the classroom training course, or apply for a training waiver. You may then attempt the certification exam.

 

No, you must take the version of the exam that corresponds to the version of the classroom training course that you attended. However, a certification for a previous version of Cúram may be upgraded to the most recent version by completing a web-based upgrade course.

 

To register for an exam you need to complete the following steps:

• Obtain your voucher number
• Complete the exam prep recommended by GLS
• Schedule the exam for the location, time, and date on the Prometric Site

 

GLS strongly recommends that you schedule your exam as quickly as possible after attending the classroom training course .This will enable you to arrange the most desirable date, time, and location for your exam. In addition, you can also plan your preparation more effectively by setting a target date.

The amount of preparation time required will differ for each candidate, as it depends on a range of personal factors, including experience, study techniques, and work commitments. For the Developers exam, GLS recommends that candidates spend approximately 8 hours a week preparing for the certification exam over a period of 6-8 weeks. For the Business Analysts exam, GLS recommends that candidates spend approximately 6 hours a week preparing for the exam over a period of 4-8 weeks.

 

If you attempt the exam for the first time within 90 days of attending a classroom training course, payment is not required. The exam fee is included in the training price.

For subsequent exam attempts, or if you attempt the exam more than 90 days after attending a classroom training course, a fee is required. This fee is paid directly to the testing provider (Prometric). If a training waiver has been granted, payment is made to Cúram Software.

 

The voucher number will be mailed to you by Cúram after you have attended a classroom training course or received a training waiver. If you have to pay for the exam, the voucher number is sent to you by the testing provider (Prometric) on receipt of payment.

For the Business Analysts exam, GLS recommends that candidates spend approximately 6 hours a week preparing for the exam over a period of 4-8 weeks.

For the Business Analysts exam, GLS recommends that candidates spend approximately 6 hours a week preparing for the exam over a period of 4-8 weeks.

 

GLS recommends that candidates take the certification exam within 6-8 weeks of completing the corresponding classroom training course.

 

The exams are based on the topics and material covered in the classroom training courses. The Certification Exam sheets provide a list of testable topics.

 

Each of the the classroom training courses includes a set of 10 sample questions. Beware of fraudulent websites offering "Cúram practice exam resources". These websites do not have practice exam questions and do not have authorization from Cúram to sell or otherwise distribute certification exam materials.

 

Yes. The certification exam questions are exclusively based on the material covered in the respective classroom training courses and contained in the course manuals provided to course attendees.

 

All Cúram certification exams have the same format, that is, a closed-book, computer-based test consisting of 40 multiple-choice questions covering key concepts. Candidates have one hour to complete each Cúram certification exam. Multiple-choice questions may have one correct answer (multiple-choice, single answer) or more than one correct answer (multiple-choice, multiple answer). The exam itself is taken in a Prometric testing center to ensure that candidates are evaluated in an industry-standard testing environment.

 

Two certifications are currently offered by Cúram, namely, Cúram Certified Developer (CCD) and Cúram Certified Professional (CCP). The pass marks for the corresponding certification exams depend on the certification itself (CCD or CCP) and the Cúram version associated with it.

The pass mark for both the CCD V6 and CCP V6 certification exams is 70% (28 or more questions correct). The pass mark for the CCP V5.2 is also 70% (28 or more questions correct). However, the pass mark for the CCD V5.2 exam is 65% (26 or more questions correct). 

On arriving at the test center, you will be required to present two valid forms of ID, one of which must be a valid photo ID, such as passport or government-sponsored ID card.

 

No. It is not permitted to use any product information, such as course manuals, or documents and artifacts from the Cúram Documentation Center during the exam. Candidates are provided with an erasable note board and marker for notes and calculations.

 

If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, you will not be allowed to sit the exam.

 

For all Cúram V5.0 exams, you are prompted to select one correct answer in a single-answer, multiple-choice question, for example "Choose one option." For multiple-answer, multiple-choice questions, you are prompted to look for a specific number of correct answers, for example, "Choose 3 options." This applies to both the V5.2 CCD and CCP exams.

 

For a Cúram V5.2 exam, you are prompted to select one correct answer in a single-answer, multiple-choice question, for example "Choose 1 option." For multiple-answer, multiple-choice questions, you are prompted to look for a specific number of correct answers, for example, "Choose 3 options." This applies to both the V5.2 CCD and CCP exams.

 

The V6 CCD and CCP differ in the way they use question prompts. Single-answer, multiple-choice questions in both the V6 CCD and CCP exams use the same prompt, that is, "Choose 1 answer/option." However, the prompts provided for multiple-answer, multiple-choice questions differ between the CCD and CCP exams. In the V6 CCD exam, the prompt for each multiple-answer, multiple-choice question specifies the number of correct answers that the candidate should seek, for example, "Select 2 answers." In the V6 CCP exam, the prompt for each multiple-answer, multiple-choice question does not specify the number of correct answers that the candidate should seek, for example, "Select more than one answer."

 

All Cúram certification exams consist of 40 multiple-choice questions. Each correctly answered question contributes 2.5% to the total score. There is no negative marking. No deductions are made from the total score for incorrect answers. If a question has more than one correct answer, all the correct answers must be selected for the question to be marked correct.

 

You will be given your score and an analysis of your performance in each of the Cúram knowledge categories as soon as you complete the exam. The testing center will also provide you with a printed version of this information.

 

No. At the end of the exam, you will be told how many questions from each section you answered correctly. You will not be shown the specific questions that you answered incorrectly.

 

The period of time allowed between successive attempts of the certification exam depends on how many attempts have been made to date.

• If this is your second attempt, you may retake the exam immediately
• If this is your third attempt, you must wait at least 20 business days from the date of the previous attempt before retaking the exam
• If this is your fourth attempt, you must get written permission from Cúram Software (learning@curamsoftware.com) before retaking the exam

 

In this context, please note the following rules:

 

• You cannot retake a passed exam in an effort to increase your passing score.
• If an exam is scheduled and subsequently not taken. GLS deems this to be an attempt.
• Any exam taken and passed at the fourth attempt without written consent from Cúram Software will not be validated.
• Any exam taken and passed at the third attempt within 20 business days of the second attempt will not be validated.

 

By default, you can take the same certification exam three times, that is, a first attempt plus two subsequent retakes. If you need to attempt an exam for a fourth time, you must obtain written permission from Cúram Software (learning@curamsoftware.com). If an exam is taken for a fourth time and passed without written permission, the exam will not be validated. Exam retakes require payment of the full exam fee and are not discounted.

 

Yes. Exam retakes require payment of the full exam fee (USD$150) and are not discounted.

 

All exam re-take fees are paid directly to the testing vendor, Prometric.

 

A certificate will be mailed to the address provided when you scheduled your exam within three weeks from the date on which you passed the exam. The shipment of the certificate takes three weeks because it involves collaboration between numerous groups, such as the test center, Cúram, distribution centers, and the shipping provider. Please contact us at learning@curamsoftware.com if you have not received your certificate within this time.

 

No. Certificates are only issued if an actual exam has been taken.

Candidates with a valid certification must keep their skills current by upgrading them on new versions of Cúram.

If new exams or upgrades courses are not taken as stipulated by GLS, your certification will be suspended for (6) six months. Candidates have six (6) months to recertify their Cúram certification.
