Request for Information on International Certification Testing

The following request was submitted by one of our readers:

I represent a certification program that has recently expanded internationally to the Middle East. Our computer testing system is challenged by testing in the Middle East (constant disrupts) and I am wondering if other certification bodies can share their experiences and or vendors that are successfully delivering international exams. Our current assessment vendor is US based.
