I have one question that touches on the ISO standards surrounding the separation of training and certification. As you know, your health checks identify the relative difficulties of the exam blueprint domains. Would we be able to make that information available to the public or could it be perceived as helping candidates prepare for the exam?
We were thinking about something broad like: “Top three most difficult domains on the CIPP/US exam.” Obviously we don’t want to jeopardize our accreditation, but we thought it might be interesting information for our candidates to know.
Thank you for your insight!
Answer:
Great question, Doug.
You could put the relative difficulties on your website as studying information for all candidates. As long as the information was freely available to all candidates, there shouldn’t be a problem.
You may also want to point to the online info in your candidate handbook, so as it’s revised online you don’t have to revise the candidate handbook every time the relative difficulties change.
Nice idea!
