To request an accommodation, submit the following information to The Open Group Help Desk (select the category Certification and Accreditation):
- A description of the accommodation you need
- Supporting documentation (for example, medical or professional evidence)

What Happens After You Submit a Request
Once your request is received:
- The Open Group reviews the documentation to determine eligibility.
- If approved, authorization is sent to Pearson VUE.
- You will receive instructions on how to schedule your exam with the Pearson VUE Accommodation Scheduling team.
Important Notes
- Accommodations must be approved before you book an exam appointment.
- Accommodations are available only for test center appointments, not online proctored exams.
- English as a Second Language (ESL) time extensions are handled automatically by the Pearson VUE booking system and do not require a manual request.
