We
feel very strongly about the importance
of a sound, enforced Code of Ethics.
Maintaining
the integrity
of the CCE is
in the best
interest of all
CCE certificants.
The ISFCE will thoroughly
and impartially investigate
all
suspected or apparent violations of the Code of Ethics
and Professional Responsibility by applicants
and CCE certificants.
CODE
OF ETHICS AND PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Intent
of the Code of Ethics:
A
Code of Ethics
is necessary
for the protection
of the certification
process, the
individual certificant
and finally
the client consumer.
Possible violations
of the ISFCE
Code of Ethics
and Professional
Responsibility
are taken very
seriously and
will be vigorously
pursued.
The
ISFCE and all
CCE certificants
have the responsibility
to maintain
the CCE certification
to the highest
ethical standards
and demonstrating
integrity, impartiality,
diligence &
professionalism
in performance.
All
CCE Certificants
are required
to help maintain
the integrity
of the CCE and
the CCE process.
Applicants
or CCE certificants
who become aware
of any violation
of the Code
of Ethics and
Professional
Responsibility
must, as soon
as reasonably
possible, report
such violation
to the ISFCE.
Applicants
for the Certified
Computer Examiner
Certification
(CCE):
There
are high ethical
standards for
all CCE applicants
and certificants
to abide by.
All work
to complete
the CCE process
must be done
solely by the
individual applicant.
CCE applicants
may not corroborate,
work jointly,
cheat or plagiarize
others work
to complete
the CCE process.
Merely setting
up or belonging
to groups, workgroups,
chatrooms, listservers,
etc. that discuss
the CCE problems,
grades, scores,
the grading
system or any
issues in the
CCE process
that may assist
in the completion
of the CCE process,
will be considered
a violation
of this code.
Applicants
my not use nor
infer that they
are CCE certified
until such time
as they are
actually awarded
the CCE certification.
The
CCE certification
is only awarded
to applicants
after all parts
of the examination
process have
been successfully
completed. Thus
it would be
a violation
of this code
for an applicant
to publicly
indicate that
he or she has
"Passed"
a particular
part of the
CCE.
