CISSP exam availability in French

benbac — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 06:43:59 GMT

Dear community

While logging into Pearson Vue to schedule a CISSP exam, the available language options are the following: English, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean

I noticed that French is no longer available as an option, I wander if this related to the latest revision of CISSP exam outline (May 2021)

Is the French language still considered as an exam option in the near future ?

Any way to contribute to exam translation in order to make this option available to the francophonie community ?

Regards

@AndreaMoore, the Domain Refresh FAQ does mention French (emphasis mine) as an option.

Q: In what language will the refreshed CISSP exam be available?

A: The refreshed CISSP exam will be available in English in the Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) format, and in French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean in the linear fixed form format.

Thank you for pointing that out. We will update that FAQ. The change to the CISSP languages was made with the May 1, 2021 exam refresh detailed here: https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/cissp/Certification-Exam-Outline.

Effective Nov. 1, 2022 with SSCP exam length changes, CISSP, CCSP and SSCP will all be available in our new standard languages of English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean. For CISSP, English is only available via the CAT format.

When in doubt, please always refer to the exam outline: https://www.isc2.org/-/media/ISC2/Certifications/Exam-Outlines/CISSP-Exam-Outline-English-April-2021.ashx

Thank you, @AndreaMoore, for following up, appreciated the shared details and links

I wanted to register as a volunteer, however I do hold just the CC credential from (ISC)2 thus I can't proceed further within the form

Do you mind updating the (ISC)2 Volunteer Interest Form to include CC

I wish also if (ISC)2 considers other credentials from other organisations that provide similar credentials and share common interests and missions

Thank you for your valuable support

@Rico2010 Thank you for reaching out via our ISC2 Community.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that our ISC2 exams have not been offered in the French language since February 2022. They were discontinued due to the low demand.

Should you wish to sit for an exam in any of the languages offered, you may request a Special Accommodation for Extra Time. The maximum time granted is 2 X the Exam Time.

If you wish to request an examination accommodation, complete the Examination Accommodation Form and return it to ISC2 prior to registering for your exam with the following information to examadministration@isc2.org:

An explanation of the examination accommodations you need
Documentation supporting the examination accommodation
The exam you want to take
The exam location

I'm sorry but it takes more than two months to get the approval from ISC2 after that more than 2 months to Pearson Vue to find the accomodation approval. The process is not optimiser ..
