Cisco Now Requires Digital Photos and Signatures of candidates
Cisco Systems has recently introduced its new policy in which all candidates must bring their digital photo and provide a digital signature at the test center before taking any Cisco exam. This new policy will be implemented worldwide within a year at Pearson Vue, Cisco’s exclusive test delivery service provider.
According to the company’s Website, a new level of identity authentication will help individuals to establish the authenticity of their certification records in the market place. It is basically seen that some candidates take the exams on behalf of others and also retake the exams to memorize the questions to give to other candidates.
In order to avoid such illegal activities, this policy will be helpful for the examination authorities to get the right verification of the candidates. The new policy will make it easier for the candidates to be identified. The process is also helpful to protect the integrity of Cisco certification and prevent exam fraud. This is one of the many steps that are being taken to maintain test security.
