Exams

Accredited Examination Centre

APA Procurement Training is an accredited examination provider of CIPS Examinations.  We run exams for the CIPS syllabus for each exam series through the year in November, March, May and July.

All exams are Computer Based, either Objective response (OR) exams which are flexi-scheduled with two sittings per day on Tuesday, Weds and Thursday in Week 1 of each series. Or Constructed response (CR) exams are timetabled in Week 2 of each exam series. Other days may be available if taking exams at a regional centre other than ours.

If you are studying with us, you are able to sit for all your examinations at our Centre in Swindon or we will have booked your exam at the CIPS regional centre preference at time of enrolment, remote invigilation is also available for an additional fee from CIPS. Examination Fees (including Examination Centre Fees) will be in addition to the price of the published course fee.

Examination Booking

For those studying with us we will book your exams on your behalf and we will need your CIPS membership number to book your exam, this Membership needs to be current.

The examination subject timetables are published on the CIPS website as well as on your class timetable and discussed in your teaching sessions.

Reasonable Adjustment and Special Consideration

We are committed to ensuring that all candidates have equal opportunities to reach their full potential. In some instances, candidates may require adjustments to the assessment process to give them an equal opportunity.

Applications for Reasonable Adjustments should be made direct to CIPS at least eight weeks prior to the date of the examination or assessment, we will support this and send the application on your behalf.

Candidates may also apply for Special Consideration in instances that could not possibly be predicted, such as in the event of personal issues that might impact on your exam performance. Such applications must be made within 7 days of the date of the examination.

Reasonable adjustment can include the use of a reader/amanuensis or additional examination time.  Once we have confirmation from CIPS, we are very happy to make the required arrangements at our Centre.
