Beginning in May/June Exam Session and continuing for the rest of 2025:  - Exam fees increase by $25 except for those in United Nations Emerging & Developing Economies. The January - February exam session opens 15 January in the Certification Portal. Access Exam Session Here: https://shorturl.at/59ysj #ProfessionalCertification #A11Y
