There is a 30-day waiting period imposed between all failed certification attempts, so that candidates may take the time to properly prepare for their retake. If there is an emergency situation that would necessitate an exception to this policy, please fill out the following application and GIAC will consider your request. Please note that if your 30-day waiting period waiver request is approved, there is still a mandatory 14-day waiting period that applies to all GIAC candidates and cannot be waived.
