Format of Examinations:

Open book assessment |
| Entrance (eligibility) requirements: |
Valid CTA or equivalent. To be eligible to write Part I, a candidate must have successfully completed a CTA or equivalent programme accredited by the IPD Committee. However, such CTA or equivalent programme will only be valid for a period of five years (starting the year after the CTA was completed) and it is an accredited programme. For the avoidance of doubt, any year in which a candidate does not write the Part I examination is still included within that five year period. |
