Derivative classification is: the incorporating, paraphrasing, restating, or generating in new form information that is already classified and the marking of the new material consistent with the classification of the source material, or the marking of the information in accordance with an authorized classification guide.
Unlimited testing is allowed if you are unsuccessful; however, you are required to wait 90 days before re-testing. You may submit a re-test exam application online via your BCEN Account after the 90-day waiting period is over.
Participants have 30 days from the time they register to complete the course. Within the 30-day window, participants can log out and log back in to return to where they left off. The only exception is the final certification exam at the end of the course.
