Certification Integrity

Protecting the Value of ICT Credentials. Protecting the Integrity of the Profession.
BICSI certification integrity concept featuring brass scales of justice

BICSI® credentials are recognized worldwide because they represent verified knowledge, proven skills, and professional competence. Maintaining that value requires secure exams, ethical conduct, and a commitment to certification integrity. Attempts to compromise the certification process, including cheating or sharing exam content, diminish the credibility of BICSI credentials and the ICT profession. BICSI investigates violations and takes appropriate action to protect the integrity of its certification program.
