The following is information that is published on the "NLC 2026 Required Industry Certification Alignments and Objectives" page of the WSAP Guidelines:
Members who have certified in the aligned IT Specialist exam may choose from one of the following two options:
- The contestant will be given the opportunity to take another certification exam within the event subject area in place of the previously passed exam. If the contestant passes their chosen exam, they will receive 50 points towards the final score of the BPA competitive event. If the contestant fails their chosen exam, they will receive zero (0) points towards the final score of the BPA competitive event.
- The contestant may share their previously passed test scores with NLC staff. If this option is selected, the contestant will be required to log in to their Certiport account and share the previously earned score at the time of sign in at NLC.
