Certification - Studying for the Exam

 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. Beginning with the 2009 examination, the 2008 Test Template (based on the 2008 Role Delineation Document) will be used as the guideline to formulate the certification examination.

2. Practical images are no longer projected onto a screen at the front of the examination room for candidates.  All images are now reproduced and included in each candidate's exam booklet.  This will now allow candidates to answer questions at their own rate and return to specific questions as needed.  This will also alleviate concerns regarding optimal seating to view images.

3. Beginning in 2010, there will be one single examination rather than two separate examinations (written and practical). A proportion (approximately 25-40%) of the questions on the examination will involve images (such as photos, charts or tables) which will be printed in the examination booklet. All questions will be multiple-choice format. Candidates will be required to pass this combined examination, even if they have previously passed only one of them in 2009 or 2008.
