When must candidates request an emergency waiver?

Candidates must request an emergency waiver prior to the examination date to ensure that all necessary protocols and documentation can be processed in a timely manner. This allows the certification body to review the situation and determine eligibility for the waiver, ensuring that candidates who have valid emergencies are accommodated properly without causing disruption to the exam schedule. Making the request before the examination date helps maintain the integrity and logistics of the testing process. It is essential for candidates to understand that this advance notice is necessary to allow for appropriate arrangements or considerations to be made, rather than waiting until the day of the exam or shortly before it, which could complicate matters.
