Unable to access the Zurich delta exam.

Unable to access the Zurich delta exam. Should I pay CPM fee every year in order to access the delta?

Hi @Suma K,

you won't like to hear that but yes.

To be able taking Delta exams, you must pay the yearly maintenance fee 200 USD + taxes:

For more details, refer to this: Certification Maintenance Program (CMP) FAQ

Once you pay the CMP, you will get a badge and unlock the Delta exams. If you will not do so you won't be able to take Delta exam(s) and all your certs will expire... :((

If you work for a company that is a ServiceNow partner, this fee might be covered for you, but it depends on contracts and deals of that company. If you are freelancer or working for a company that is not a partner, then it is up to your own expenses.

I also had to pay it myself last year so I can relate...

Hi @Suma K ,

The short answer is "YES". You need to pay each year (as of now), to maintain your certifications.

Yes, CMP is mandatory for the Delta exam. It is a one-time annual payment, irrespective of the mainline you hold. You can still take the Delta exam first and pay afterward if you are not working with a partner company. If you are working with a partner company, the company will typically pay on your behalf. In short, yes—payment is required.
