Special Accommodation

Special Accommodation Policy Blog:

Candidates who are differently abled can request special accommodations to attempt any EC-Council certification exam, when the exam is otherwise hard for them to attempt using the standard testing equipment or within the standard exam duration. This initiative aligns with EC-Council’s commitment to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA, 1991).

EC-Council will accommodate reasonable requests by candidates with special needs, equate them with other candidates, and enable them to denote their skills and knowledge in EC-Council’s exams.
