Benefits of online exams

  • You enter for exams when you are ready rather than at set quarterly dates.
  • You receive provisional notification of your results immediately upon completion.
  • You can progress with your studies at a pace that matches your study and career aspirations.
  • Should you fail the test you can apply to re-sit at a date and time convenient to you rather than waiting until the next quarterly test session. Note: you must provide a minimum of seven working day notice.

How do online exams work in practice?

The format of the online exams remains unchanged from the hard-copy versions, except that they are now completed online rather than by using paper and pencil. Exams take place at centres throughout the UK. The online exam service is not yet available outside the UK.

Online Exams Simulation

You don't need to be good at IT to take an exam online - the system is really simple to use.

There is a short simulation available to download here - CII Online Exams Simulation.

This is intended to make you comfortable with the Institutes' online testing environment. The questions shown are not taken from CII examinations.

Online exam centres (UK only)

There are currently more than 40 online exams centres in 24 locations, selected for their accessibility via rail/road links. Availability will vary from centre to centre in accordance with patterns of demand. We recommend booking six weeks in advance to give the best chance of getting your preferred exam date and timing at your chosen centre.

* Exams are set though the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII). The CII carries its equal opportunities policy through to cover all the exams it administers. Provisions are made for candidates who are disabled, this may include dyslexic, blind, partially sighted or those with dexterity impediments.

If you are disabled or have a condition which you believe should be taken into consideration in assessing your exam performance, you should apply in writing, enclosing medical evidence such as a doctor’s letter. Applications without medical evidence will not be considered.

Your application should preferably accompany your exam entry. The CII will hold your medical evidence on file, but you must send in a written request for provision to be made/consideration given before each subsequent exam you enter.
