EXIN SIAM™ Foundation based on the Scopism SIAM BoK V3
An EXIN SIAM Foundation certification aligned with Scopism SIAM Body of Knowledge V3; the Bridge path updates the award for existing Foundation V2 holders.
Licensing authority: EXIN
Initial by examination
- Applicant Population
- Existing EXIN SIAM Foundation V2 certificate holders only
- Award
- Updated Foundation BoK V3 certificate and badge, not an independently awarded Bridge qualification.
- Delivery
- Arrange an eligible Bridge offering through EXIN or an accredited provider; center availability varies and online service has equipment/proctoring conditions. No particular future seat or institutional timetable is guaranteed.
- Prior Qualification
- Successful completion of a previous EXIN SIAM Foundation exam and existing certification are required in addition to this Bridge pass; previous completion is an applicant qualification, not a new sitting or a second production task.
- Source Context
- The guide page 5 mentions Professional Bridge in its award sentence; that neighboring examination is not adopted here. The Foundation Bridge product page expressly identifies the Foundation award earned by passing this exam, and page 6 identifies the required Foundation Bridge examination.
- Training
- Seven recommended contact hours, including group assignments, preparation and breaks; study effort indication 28 hours (1 ECTS). The guide does not list mandatory training or separately assessed assignments among its two certification requirements. The reading guide addresses graduates of prior formal Foundation training; this stated audience assumption is retained rather than converted into an additional current Bridge assessment.
