10.9.09 | Washington, DC | NCIDQ has announced a policy effective in 2010 that requires candidates taking the NCIDQ Examination to earn the NCIDQ Certificate to pass all sections of the examination within a five-year period or retest. This five-year rolling window of time describes the way in which the timing accrues. Rather than one five-year fixed period of time, a candidate's time rolls forward in five-year increments depending on when he or she passes an exam section.

Candidates who do not take any sections of the examination within five years of being made eligible by NCIDQ will lose their eligibility status. Candidates who lose their eligibility status due to non-testing must reapply, meet the requirements in effect at that time and pay any application fees.

For more information on this policy, click here.

In the event that a candidate does not begin the exam within five years, NCIDQ will destroy his or her records unless a candidate requests an extension. NCIDQ attempted to contact the candidates affected by this policy and has now created an online document that lists all candidates affected. The list represents those candidates who have not responded to our previous notices or whose mail was returned.

NCIDQ has posted this list on its Web site at www.ncidq.org in the hopes that others will recognize these names and notify those people of this policy. 

Please review the list of affected candidates here.

If you someone on this list, please let them know of this destruction policy and have them call us immediately at 202-721-0220.
