Sarbanes Oxley Certification Institute is a vendor-independent organization. It does not have an "official" single method of test preparation. We encourage publishers, schools and training centres to work together within the community to encourage choice, flexibility and innovation.

Sarbanes Oxley Certification Institute Accredited Training and/or Testing Center (ATTC) Program

The ATTC Program differentiates and substantially increases the objective standing of training organizations by showing a higher level of commitment to Sarbanes Oxley education through the use of third party-approved training materials, instructors, and adherence to Sarbanes Oxley Certification Institute’s Training and Academic Code of Ethics.
In countries where there are centres, the program is run by the centres. In countries where there is no Affiliate, the program is run by Sarbanes Oxley Certification Institute. To apply for the ATTC in your area, please provide your contact information here and we will respond shortly. For questions on the program, call Richard at +1 646 290 6902 or email Richard at info@soxcert.org.
