How many delta exams do I have to complete to maintain my CSA, CAD and CIS certificates?

[BojanaZ]

Hi All,

1. I have my CSA valid, did one delta exam.

How many delta exams do I have to do to maintain my CSA?

Do I need to complete delta after every release (every six months) or just one update a year?

Also, do I need to pay every time? If yes, how much does it cost for partner organizations?

2. I am about to obtain my CIS ITSM soon. 

Will first delta be free as for CSA?

And going forward, does that mean that I will need to do delta every six months?
What would be the price for partner organizations?

3. In case I obtain my CAD, will the same apply as for CSA and CIS? And what is the price of CAD delta for partner organizations

4. Scenario: I have CSA, CAD and CIS - does this mean I have to do 6 deltas in a single year and pay for all 6 deltas?

I am trying to map costs me or my organization will need to set aside for maintaining certification.

Thank you for your guidance, Bojana

Hi @BojanaZ

For each mainline you need to clear the delta to maintain that certification alive.

Do I need to complete delta after every release (every six months) or just one update a year?

Also, do I need to pay every time? If yes, how much does it cost for partner organizations?

Atul: It depends, like there is no delta for D.C release but for Xanadu release there will be delta.

2. I am about to obtain my CIS ITSM soon. 

Will first delta be free as for CSA?

Atul: All delta's exam are free of cost and kind of open book.

And going forward, does that mean that I will need to do delta every six months?
What would be the price for partner organizations?

3. In case I obtain my CAD, will the same apply as for CSA and CIS? And what is the price of CAD delta for partner organizations

Atul: All delta's exam are free of cost and kind of open book.

4. Scenario: I have CSA, CAD and CIS - does this mean I have to do 6 deltas in a single year and pay for all 6 deltas?

Atul: 3 delta only .
