If you are unsuccessful in part or all of your initial CSWIP exams, you may re-sit the failed parts at another time in accordance with the following:

  1. You will have 12 months from the date of your initial exam to re-sit the failed part/s, after this time you must repeat the entire examination.
  2. The re-sit exam may not be taken within 30 days of your previous exam, unless additional approved training is undertaken before the re-sit.
  3. If you are unsuccessful in the re-sit exam, you will be required to take the approved course in full again, followed by the full exam (if taken within 6 months of the initial course, you will receive a 50% discount on the course only).

You can choose to re-sit the failed parts of your exam by enrolling on a date reserved for HALF DAY Exams on the course calendar.
