Candidates have up to 180 days from the date of payment to schedule and take their certification exam. Once ready, candidates can select their preferred exam date and time through their myARTiBA dashboard.
Exams are available year-round and can be scheduled based on the candidate’s time zone and readiness.
All rescheduling must be done through the myARTiBA dashboard.
If you cancel your scheduled exam at any time, you will need to pay USD 50 to extend your 180-day eligibility period, allowing you to reschedule your exam at a later date within the extended window.
Cancellations made within 72 hours of the scheduled time are not eligible for extension and will result in your eligibility window expiring—unless special permission is granted.
