registration deadline. Please note that you will be sent an email confirming your registration, advising reschedule and cancellation terms and attaching invoice, if you do not receive such email your form has not been received and you will therefore not be registered!!

The exam is made up of 175 multiple choice questions. Exams are done by pencil and paper but as of

2010 CBT examinations are available in Midrand, which means that when you write your exam you are able to get your score at the end of your test, if you are not successful you are able to re‐book

immediately for a re‐write but can only choose a date 2 weeks later than the exam you have just taken.

Time allowed to complete the CSCP exam is 4 hours.

Please note that when you purchase the CSCP material you get online access for a period of 12

months from date of first logging in. Only a one‐time access extension is offered for 6 months so you need to be committed to write the exam within 18 months.
