Steps for submitting SY0-101: CompTIA Security+ test results to IBM Certification

Because this is a non-IBM exam, candidates will have to notify IBM Certification when they have completed the "Security+" test requirements for the IBM Certified Advanced Deployment Professional - Tivoli Security Management Solutions certification.

1. Candidate takes "Security+" test at an authorized testing center. Candidate is notified at that time if they pass the test.
2. Testing center feeds candidate test data back to CompTIA and it is stored in CompTIA's Integral 7 database.
3. Candidate logs on to CompTIA's "Candidate Certification Information" area to forward their test information to IBM (certify@us.ibm.com)). Access to CompTIA's Candidate Certification Information tool can be found at: https://certify.comptia.org/.
   Note: Candidate test information required by IBM includes: candidate name, testing ID, test name, "pass" notification.
4. Candidate fulfills remaining IBM-specific exam requirements to earn the IBM Certified Advanced Deployment Professional - Tivoli Security Management Solutions certification.
