ISACA™ certification exam – retake policy

The following regulations for retake exams apply to ISACA™ certification exams:

Candidates have a total of four attempts to pass the respective certification exam within a rolling period of twelve months. If the exam is not passed on the first attempt, a maximum of three further attempts are available within twelve months from the date of the first exam attempt.

The following waiting periods apply for retake exams:

• Retake 1 (2nd exam attempt): at the earliest 30 days after the first exam attempt

• Retake 2 (3rd exam attempt): at the earliest 90 days after the second exam attempt

• Retake 3 (4th exam attempt): at the earliest 90 days after the third exam attempt

For each individual exam attempt, the respectively applicable exam fee must be paid in full.

After passing the exam, the same certification exam may not be taken again within the five-year application period.

Holders of a valid ISACA™ certification may not take the corresponding certification exam again during the validity of their certification.

The current exam and retake policies of ISACA™ apply.
See what CCOA-certified professionals are saying about CCOA:
“CCOA is highly valuable for cyber analysts because it goes beyond a knowledge-based exam by incorporating a hands-on technical assessment that demonstrates real-world aptitude. This practical approach sets it apart from certifications that focus solely on theoretical knowledge.”

(Clayton Barbier, CISA, CISSP, GSEC, CEH Master, CNDA, CSX-P, Security+, eJPT, PenTest+, CNVP, CIA, CCOA)

"CCOA balances theoretical knowledge and practical skills by combining multiple-choice, scenario-based questions with realistic, hands-on challenges in a live virtual lab environment. This approach tests candidates' conceptual aptitude and ability to apply knowledge to analyze real scenarios. The exam is rigorous and engaging!"

(Gareth Marchant, cybersecurity researcher, consultant, and author)
