Certification Integrity

Protecting the Value of Your Credential. Protecting the Integrity of Our Profession.

BICSI® credentials are recognized and respected around the world because they represent real knowledge, real skill, and real achievement. That reputation exists only because our exams – and the professionals who earn our credentials – uphold the highest standards of integrity. Cheating, sharing exam content, or attempting to compromise our testing process harms every credential holder and undermines the ICT industry. We take these violations seriously and act swiftly to address them.
