Splunk Certification Testing Accommodations Policy

Applicability

Description

Splunk’s special accommodations testing policies are intended to meet the needs of candidates who have documented disabilities and require an accommodation within the normal testing process to take a Splunk Certification exam. Granting special accommodations allows us to administer exams in a way that is fair for all exam candidates.

Please note - all accommodations requests must include diagnostic, detailed documentation provided by an evaluator, such as a psychologist, doctor, or other medical professional who has or will administer a series of psychological, educational, or medical tests. All information provided as part of the accommodations request is subject to and protected under our Privacy Policy.

There are four major categories that are subject to special accommodations under our guidelines:

• LCD (LEARNING AND OTHER COGNITIVE DISORDERS)
• ADD/ADHD (ATTENTION-DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER)
• EPP (PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS)
• PCH (PHYSICAL DISABILITIES & CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS)
  • Hearing
  • Wheelchair access
  • Physical impairment

As with all of our exam administrations, the testing accommodations are administered through Pearson, our exam delivery partner. There is no single type of testing accommodation that is appropriate for all individuals with disabilities, thus the actual accommodations are individualized and considered on a case-by-case basis. Through Pearson, Splunk is able to provide several different types of accommodations including, but not limited to:

• Text magnifiers such as Zoom Text
• A separate testing room
• Additional testing time
• A reader or scribe

Requesting Accommodations

For more information, or to request special accommodations, please contact splunk_certification@splunk.com. All accommodations requests must be submitted prior to a candidate scheduling the initial exam appointment, so the need for accommodations can be verified and the specific accommodations requested can be met. Accommodations cannot be applied to existing exam appointments or to retake attempts (unless approved for initial attempt).

Please note: accommodations are tied to a candidate’s unique Pearson Splunk ID. Notify splunk_certification@splunk.com if/when account moves occur so our team can make sure accommodations are transferred, as well.
