Overview On October 17, 2011, exam numbers for Avaya Certified Implementation Specialist (ACIS), Avaya Certified Support Specialist (ACSS) and select Product Authorization (PA) credentials will change. These exam numbers will no longer include decimal points and instead will use Full Integer Numbers going forward (e.g. exam number 6002.1 will be changed to 6002). Exam numbers for Avaya Certified Specialist (ACS) exams (e.g. 132-S-709.2) will remain the same until the exams are retired. Avaya Learning to Modify Exam Numbers Why the Change This change makes remembering exam numbers easier as well as simplifies administration and delivery of multiple forms of an exam for quality control and security purposes. Exam numbers going forward, as reflected by Full Integer Numbers, will now only change when there is a material change in competency requirements for the associated credential with corresponding changes to exam content. Avaya will no longer need to communicate a new exam number when a different form of the same exam is deployed, which previously was reflected by a change to the decimal point within an exam number.
