Initial by examination
Appointments
The official live launch allows appointments beginning 2026-09-01. Specific seats in the requested 2026-11-25 through 2027-02-28 horizon were not booked or guaranteed; the scheduler requires login. No institutional or school arrangement is stated in these applicable materials.
Audience
Approximately 1-2 years of database experience and at least 6 months of NDB experience are the intended candidate profile, not an independently stated mandatory enrollment prerequisite.
Award
Passing the NCP-DB 7.5 examination achieves NCP-DB 7 certification; this is the initial route, not the separate recertification policy.
Delivery
English only in this submission. Choose remote proctoring or an available test-center appointment; these are delivery choices for the same examination, not separate exams. Remote testing requires registration and valid identification; test-center candidates arrive 15 minutes early with valid government-issued ID.
Holder Validity
The earned NCP-DB 7 certification remains valid for three years; this does not establish an examination or credential-program calendar cutoff.
Training
Course attendance is explicitly not required; NDMA is recommended preparation.
