What this means for AWS Certification candidates

Pearson VUE has been a leader in the assessment industry for nearly 30 years, with more than 5,000 test centers in 180+ countries. Pearson VUE has taken several steps toward improving the customer experience by investing heavily in their online proctoring platform, increasing access by providing Japanese and Spanish speaking proctors for a localized candidate experience, and consistently delivering high standards of customer service. In countries such as Korea and China, that have relied heavily on PSI to support exam delivery, Pearson VUE is proactively expanding capacity to support the increased demand.
