The CEDS credential may be earned by individuals who submit qualifying experience and education to ACEDS, and pass the rigorous four-hour examination which provides a tough and objective measure of mastery of the challenging field of e-discovery. Since the exam was first offered in November 2010, professionals in the United States, Canada, the UK, South Korea, Germany and China have earned the CEDS certification.
