Stay up to date with all upcoming exams
Our approach to your learning is completely flexible, we won’t set a start or end date for your first exam, simply book your exam when you’re ready! If you're studying independently you'll need to book your own exams. If you're studying with one of our approved study centres, they'll book your exams for you. If you need to cancel an exam for any reason, you'll need to cancel your exam by the booking closure date.
Exams can only be cancelled when the booking window is open. You can cancel your exam in your MyCIPS area.
