Congratulations on starting this journey to your new certification.

You are about to start an important journey to become certified. The value of the certification is set by some regulations. Please read all regulations that apply to taking your examination.
All examinations are subject to: The Open Group Examination Non-disclosure Agreement, Exam Conduct and Security Policy
Before booking an exam please read the Advice Sheet (PDF).

Note: Effective March 7, 2022, Pearson VUE has suspended delivery of all testing services throughout Russia and Belarus. Additionally, due to sanctions, no services are being provided in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in Ukraine. This includes both in-person exams at test centres and online testing via OnVUE.
You need an account for The Open Group web sites in order to connect with Pearson VUE, even if you wish to register by phone or at a test center.
Use the links below to create an account if you do not have one already, or update an existing profile.
Accented characters in name
If you have an accented character in your name, you may find that when transferred to Pearson VUE this has been converted to the closest non-ascii character. This is a workaround when transferring account details due to a mismatch with character handling in the Pearson VUE side. If you need assistance you can contact The Open Group helpdesk.
Time format AM/PM
A common issue when booking an exam is to accept the first available timeslot which is often around midnight and to assume it is around midday.
Please check your appointment time carefully, noting that in the online booking system 12:15 AM is 15 minutes past midnight, and 12:15 PM is 15 minutes past midday.
The appointment time will be listed in the confirmation from Pearson VUE. If you need to change it you can login to Pearson VUE as in Step 2.
Q. I receive an ERROR_CANDIDATE_NOT_FOUND error when connecting to my account at Pearson VUE. What should I do?
A. If you are registering for the first time, this indicates we were unable to transfer your details to Pearson VUE due to an issue with your profile. Please check you have a valid phone number (check that there are no spaces or periods in the phone number) and address including State/Region/Province and Country. For address fields please check that the fields are 30 characters or shorter. Addresses in the USA and Canada require a Zip code/Postal code. If after updating you still have errors please contact our helpdesk using the link given on the screen.
