What you need to know about the Prometric exam

Most applicants ask us what to expect from the exam.  We will provide you with some general guidance and training materials during your process with us so you shouldn't worry too much.  The pass mark is quite low - about 50%.  Generally speaking, our applicants don't struggle to pass this test.  Our own screening procedure is thorough and we will normally have a good idea of your ability to pass long before you make any arrangements to take the exam.

The Prometric exam is a general exam for your job role.  Once your licensing application is underway, you will be provided with a code to book a slot for the exam.  There are various test centres to choose from and likely there is one local to you, but do be prepared for a small amount of travel if you don't live in/near a large city.
