Enrolment in a semester automatically enrolls you in the paper-based CPIB exam at the end of the term, to be written at your brokerage. The Learner is required to locate a Proctor (Principal Broker or another Manager) and register with the IBAO. Once registered and approved, the Learner is allowed to write the exam at their location. Exam information will be emailed to you approximately 1 month before the semester exam date.
