When you take a CIW exam, you will be presented the CIW Certification Agreement at the start of the exam. You must accept the terms of this agreement, in order to proceed with the exam. If you would like to keep a copy of this document for your personal records, you can download it here. Once you have passed a CIW exam, you are eligible for certification.

CIW Candidate Information Center

The CIW Candidate Information Center is an online database that stores your exam results and certifications earned. It is a separate Website from this one and from all of our testing services. It requires that you establish a login username and password. You can only login if you have taken a CIW exam or hold a previously issued CIW certification. It is not necessary to register in this system before taking your first CIW exam.

The CIW Candidate Information Center login page is available at: https://cp.certmetrics.com/ciwcerts/login

You must have a valid email address to login. If the email address currently stored in your profile cannot receive messages from us, or you no longer have access to that email address, contact us to have the email address in your profile updated.

The CIW Candidate Information Center allows you to download certificates and provide proof of your certification status to third parties.

CIW certifications are awarded after required exams have been passed and after the CIW Certification Agreement has been completed.
