Wait Time to Retake CLD

[justine97]

Hello,

I just took the CLD for the first time and failed due to some outside factors (I should have rescheduled, but didn't. Live and learn). I am confident that I will pass when I retake it. From my research, it looks like there isn't any waiting time necessary between taking the CLD as long as there are only 2 attempts. However, I am unable to schedule another CLD exam online through PSI. Is there a waiting period I am unaware of?

Thanks

It used to be you were allowed 2 attempts within a 6 month timespan. You could also email the certification team for 50% off the retry exam price. But, I'm not sure if those policies have changed at all.

I'll reach out to the certification team - thank you! I'll post anything I learn from them here.

I heard back from the NI Certification team. They said there's been a slight policy change.

1) You can take the CLD as many times as you need to until you're successful

2) You need to pay in full for each attempt

3) There is a 15 calendar day waiting period between each attempt
