Notes
The examinations are 2½ hours in total duration.
At the beginning of each examination, there is a 10 minutes period where you can read the examination paper. After the 10 minutes, the examination will start.
In order to register for the examination, please send the Module entry form to CQI Education. You will receive a confirmation letter within 2 weeks.
All examination entries must be returned by 15 April (for June exams) or 15 November (for January exams) or the next working day if the day falls on a weekend.
Late entries will not be accepted later than 10 days before the examination session. Late entry charges will apply to examination entries after the set deadlines.
The CQI require the submission of all assignments by 15 December and 15 May respectively. However, as your centre needs to mark the assignments first, they will have set their own date for submission. Please contact your tutor for more information.
