An Exciting Update to DLS exam

by FISD NewsMember News

Over the past few months, we have made some significant upgrades to our Data Licensing Exam (DLS). FISD has been gathering candidate feedback and has performed an analysis of every question within the DLS Exam. Changes were made to the exam to improve the candidate experience and standardize the layout, language and format of the exam, while still providing a fair challenge to data licensing professionals.

This new version of the exam will Go Live on Black Friday, November 29, 2024 and will be called DLS v1.1. We want you and your team to experience the improved DLS exam, so for a limited time, FISD is giving a 10% discount to all FISD members who sign up for an exam between November 29 and December 31, 2024. For more information, please contact Adam Stanton.
