MIBoC Certification Exams
-
MIBoC Certification Exams must be taken at a MIBoC Authorised Examination Centre (AEC).
If you have attended a Distance Learning Training course, or need to take your exam only, the CTN-A will assist with the scheduling of a MIBoC Authorised Examination centre in your location (if available) to co-ordinate an exam only session.
-
What if there is no MIBoC AEC near me?
If you are unable to attend a MIBoC Authorized Examination Centre (AEC), the CTN-A can assist you with the application process for the Independent Invigilation option.
Should you require any additional information regarding the examination process or wish to apply for Independent Invigilation, please contact us at info@ctn-a.org. We will be pleased to assist you.
