Course evaluation

This course must be completed within 90 days from the date of registration.

Quiz questions provide a knowledge evaluation for each module, and two separate exams allow confirmation of knowledge and understanding of practical use of the course content, including mandatory reading materials.

The course evaluation is divided into three steps:

An exam covering the entire Phase I (Parts 1, 2 and 3) will be conducted at the end of Part 3. Participants are required to obtain a minimum score of 80%. Two more retakes are allowed, if the score is below 80%.
Upon successful passing of the exam pertaining to Phase I, participants will then proceed to a knowledge test on a specific audit area, which is a pre-test and will qualify them to take Part 4 of the course. Participants are required to obtain a minimum score of 80% on their knowledge test. A retake is allowed twice if the score is below 80%.
A final exam will be conducted at the end of the specific audit area module in Part 4 of the course. A minimum score of 80% is required to successfully complete Part 4. A retake is allowed twice, if the score is below 80%.

Note: For all of the three steps, after three failed retakes, the candidate will be de-registered and may take the course again, after a suggested time frame, following the complete enrollment process, including payment of the applicable registration fees.
