Online exams for Africa – any time, anywhere
During 2020, the CII has invested heavily in new arrangements to provide the best possible examination support to candidates and their employers.
We recognise that knowledgeable, qualified, competent professionals are essential for your business success, and we are committed to continuous improvement of our qualification and assessment options, taking full advantage of new digital opportunities.
The result is that CII exams are available online. Going forward we will not be offering pen and paper exams across all CII qualifications with the exception of AF4.
The key benefits of the new arrangements are:
- Most CII exams can be taken throughout the year (not dependent on specific exam cycles)
- Greater flexibility and ease to suit individual circumstances
- Instant access to exam results for multiple choice exams
- No additional charges for any of the exam options
- Exam dates can be changed without any charges (upto 48 hours in advance of the exam date including changing the delivery type – Remote invigilation to public centre, vice versa)
- Many more public exam centres added in the region (we are already using public exam centres in 40 cities throughout Africa).
The CII’s Coordinator of this change, Richard White, wrote: “Our vision is a bright one: all candidates will have the opportunity to sit examinations more frequently, and become qualified more quickly – benefiting themselves, their employers and the wider African economies.”
