Exams: After November, 2008, the only exam required to become Certified by CCIDC is IDEX

The passage of one of the national exams (listed below) PLUS passage of the CCRE was required prior to November 2008.
Notice: If you passed the CCRE prior to November 2008 but have not passed one of the national exams, you may now take just the IDEX to become Certified. But if you still want to take and pass one of the exams below, you have until December 2012 to do so. After that date, you must take the IDEX to become Certified by CCIDC.
