Validity, expiry and rescheduling
Voucher availability and expiry are controlled by the vendor. Your voucher is issued as an exam credit that must be redeemed within the vendor’s validity window, and you must complete the exam before the voucher expires. Rescheduling is allowed only within the windows and rules set by the vendor and/or the testing partner.
Because this is a Beta exam, scheduling availability can change, and you should book your appointment as soon as you’re ready to avoid last-minute constraints.
