Licenses, application pathways and examination requirements
Each license and applicant pathway has its own requirements and exemptions. Choosing practice questions does not determine your eligibility.
Certified Wireless IoT Design Professional
CWNP certification in wireless IoT design, validation and assessment, earned by passing the CWIDP exam and holding a valid CWISA certification.
Licensing authority: CWNP
Initial by examination
- Pass
- Pass the current CWIDP exam; the official FAQ gives a minimum passing score of 70%.
- Prerequisite
- Hold a valid CWISA certification. The official FAQ directs candidates to complete CWISA before taking CWIDP and states that no professional certificate is issued until the prerequisite certification is completed, including when a professional exam has already been completed.
- Remote Conditions
- A valid government-issued ID must match the CWNP account. Request and obtain CWNP approval for testing accommodations before scheduling. Remote appointment changes require two full business days' notice, subject to the documented emergency exception and fees.
- Scheduling
- Purchase a current exam voucher and book an appointment through Prometric or the officially offered CWNP in-house remote proctoring channel. The voucher allows one attempt and is valid for two years from purchase. Have the order number or voucher code ready for CWNP remote scheduling.
- Scope
- The already-required CWISA credential is an eligibility condition; its separate examination is excluded from new research and production by this task boundary.
- Training
- Classes are recommended but are not required; self-study is permitted.
