Which of the following is NOT typically considered a standard Prometric testing accommodation?

Answer: That the specific test center they select meets their accessibility requirements
Candidates with physical accessibility needs should confirm the selected test center's accessibility features before scheduling, as not all sites are identical.
If a candidate's accommodation approval is denied by the certifying organization, what recourse do they have?

Most certifying organizations have an appeals process that allows candidates to submit additional documentation or request a review of the denial.
