The Open Group offers an English as a Second Language (ESL) time allowance for candidates whose first language is not English and who are taking an English‑language Open Group examination. This policy is intended to ensure fairness by providing additional time where reading and comprehension in English may require extra effort.
Eligibility for the ESL time allowance depends on country of residence, nationality, and the country where the exam is taken.
Information on ESL exams including the list of ESL Countries for The Open Group exams is available here.
