Note from the vendor record: Issuer confirmed from CREST's own site: CREST Practitioner Threat Intelligence Analyst (CPTIA), an entry-level threat-intelligence exam with no experience prerequisite, active and delivered at Pearson VUE test centres. Conflict in official sources on the pass mark: the current CREST webpage states a "two-thirds pass mark" while CREST's official Notes for Candidates (May 2022) states 70% (at least 84 of 120 marks) - both figures come from crest-approved.org. The qualification is valid for three (3) years per the Notes for Candidates; note the acronym is easily confused with the separate CREST Practitioner Intrusion Analyst (CPIA) exam.
