CQI and IRCA online exams
CQI and IRCA exams are moving online!
We are now providing online, computer-marked exams for several of our courses, including Lead Auditor, Auditor Conversion, Combined OHSMS and EMS Lead Auditor, and Combined OHSMS and EMS Auditor Conversion. The move to online exams ensures that we will maintain the rigour and recognition people expect from a CQI and IRCA qualification.
Our online exams are available on demand and are remotely proctored using a webcam, microphone and a stable internet connection. This allows you to take your exam at a time and place that suits you best, rather than being restricted to a fixed time with a live invigilator.
Learners enrolled on the QMS ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor and Auditor Conversion courses in English, Spanish, Japanese, and Arabic will now take their exams online.
Additionally, online exams for other schemes will be available in Japanese, Arabic, and Traditional Mandarin later in 2024.
