Examination format
Examinations can be taken as:
Paper-based examination delivered as part of an approved IBITGQ training course
Or
Online e-examination administered at an approved IBITGQ exam centre.
Both the paper-based and online examinations consist of a number of questions (typically 40) answered on a multiple-choice basis. The exams last 60-90 minutes and candidates need to achieve a 65% score to pass each exam.
Examination fees
The standard charges must be paid in advance:
Paper-based exam (part of IBITGQ training course) €200 each.
Online e-examination €300 each.
The fee for the paper-based exam does not include the charge for attending the specific IBITG training course.
** Candidates who register and take the online e-examination will be expected to have a good knowledge of the exam subject. We strongly recommend candidates prepare thoroughly by reading the recommended course material and reference books as described on our Study Guide page. **
