The candidate ID field holds up to 50 characters now. Why aren my certifications in PPS?
• In order for certifications to be accurately applied, employees must inform their firm’s Authorized Profile Administrator of all updates and/or changes to their Candidate ID. • Certification records do not immediately appear – the employee’s profile is updated overnight. There is also a delay of 5 to 15 working days between the time an employee takes a certification at one of the test vendors and reporting of the results in the IBM Certification database. • To account for the delay in updating an employee’s profile, PPS now displays the date that certification was reported. • For non-IBM accepted certifications, the test vendor does not automatically forward test results to IBM. The Business Partner is required to forward to IBM a copy of the Certification Skill Certificate to receive credit in the certification data. • Select Skills and certifications for further details.
