The options available for exams to be written:
1. Submit an educational institution or exam center for CCCPA consideration - additional exam sitting fee responsibility of the examinee. Availability must be confirmed by the examinee prior to the selection as some of these institutions/centres may not be booking on your specified date. Here is a list of educational institutions/exam centres that have offered proctoring services in the past (see list)
2. CAP-ACP Conference
Please allow for at least three weeks between submission of the Exam Location Form and the exam to allow CCCPA to work with the institutions/centres/proctors and ship the materials.
If there are extenuating circumstances, the CCCPA Exam Committee may authorize a proctor (without a conflict of interest) to invigilate your exam. Written requests for this approval must be submitted to info@cccpa-cccap.org
EXAM TIMES
There are three dates per year to write the CCCPA Exams.
In 2026, the dates will be:
1. Friday March 6th
2. Friday July 10th
3. November 20th (to correspond with the CAP-ACP Conference.)
You may select your location and invigilation center from the list provided above.
Important to Note
• Each applicant is allowed a maximum of 3 exam writings within the route of certification that they applied through within 2 years of receiving notice that they are eligible to write the exam. If the applicant is not successful after the third exam attempt, they must re-apply through a different route of certification that they qualify for. The applicant will be allowed 3 exam attempts under the new route of certification; however, this must be done within the deadline of that certification route. All decisions made by the CCCPA may be appealed. The process for appeals can be found here
