With the transition to computer-based testing (CBT), The IIA's certification exams are administered through the worldwide network of Pearson VUE Testing Centers. The Pearson VUE network increases the availability of the exam from approximately 250 exam sites to over 500 exam sites.
How to schedule the exam?
>Go to www.pearsonvue.com/iia. Click on “Schedule a Test.” Login using your Pearson VUE username and password. If you are a first-time user of the Pearson VUE Web site, you should click on “Create a Web Account.” Complete the requested information. Use the same information that you provided in your IIA CCMS “primary address” and “primary e-mail” fields in order for the Pearson VUE system to locate your authorization from The IIA. Under “Previous Testing History,” check “No, this will be my first time…” Enter candidate ID number that you received from The IIA. Wait for Pearson VUE to e-mail you regarding your username and password. This process may take up to 24 hours.
Click on “Schedule Exams.” You will see all of the exams that you have registered for and are able to schedule. Select the exam that you wish to schedule and follow the instructions to select the location of the testing center where you wish to take the exam. A calendar indicating available test dates will appear. Click on an available date to see the time slots that are available for this test and select the time for your appointment. Follow the instructions to complete the scheduling of your appointment. You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your appointment.
We recommend that you schedule well in advance of the date that you wish to take the exam to give you the best opportunity to sit on your preferred date and time in your preferred test center.
Please note that your exam registration is valid for 180 days. But the “180-days” eligibility period may vary by several days due to system response delays. After that time, the registration will expire, your registration fee will be forfeited and you will be required to re-register for this exam.
Rescheduling of exam must be done 48 hours before your original schedule.
Candidates who fail an exam part must wait 90 days before being allowed to retest.
Need to bring in the exam site:
Authorization letter from IIAP (wait for the advise from IIAP on the availability of authorization letter)
Exam appointment confirmation letter that you received via e-mail from Pearson Vue.
You must bring at least one form of valid identification that meets the requirement. Identification (ID) must: [1] same name exactly as you provided it during the exam registration. [2] permanently affixed photo of your face. [3] current - expired IDs will not be accepted. [4] original document - no photocopies will be accepted. If you do not present acceptable identification, you will not be allowed to take your exam and you will be considered a “no-show” even though you appeared at the exam site. Your registration will be voided, you will forfeit your exam registration fee, and you will be required to register and pay for that exam again in order to sit for it in the future. Acceptable forms of identification are * Government-issued driver’s license * Passport * Military ID (except those with chips) * Permanent resident visa * Credit card with photo (meeting requirements) * Other government-issued ID (see IIA website for examples).
Exam Result
When you finish the exam, the test center staff will provide you with a printed “unofficial” score report. Your score will become official once The IIA publishes the score to The IIA CCMS. This normally takes a few days. IIAP will send an advise on the availability of official result.
