CBAP Exam Information

Computer-Based Testing of the CBAP Exam

Computer-based testing (CBT) of the CBAP^® exam is available at dedicated test centers around the world. Approved applicants can register online to take the CBAP^® exam at a dedicated test center in their area or close to it.

Benefits include:

• More dates, times and locations to choose from
• Proximity of locations so less travel time and costs
• More international locations including (but not limited to) Australia, New Zealand, England, UAE, India, China, etc.

The CBT exam cancellation policy is as follows. If you cancel 5 business days or fewer before the CBT exam date you registered for, or you do not pay the cancellation fee to Castle Worldwide, you will forfeit the exam fee you paid (i.e., $325 or $450), and you must pay the full exam fee to reschedule.

Exceptions to the cancellation/reschedule policy may be made in the event of a substantiated emergency. Please contact Castle directly at (919) 572-6880 for assistance.

Please read the CBAP^® Handbook for details on the exam registration process. Note: Once an application is approved, the exam candidate has one year to take the CBAP^® exam before their application lapses. It is the candidate's responsibility to ensure their application does not lapse.

Exam Hosting Policy

Ongoing, we believe the demand for the CBAP^® exam will mostly be met by applicants wanting to register themselves for computer-based testing at their own convenience. However, our existing Exam Hosting Policy is still in effect for IIBA Chapters, EEPs and companies who prefer to schedule a sitting of the CBAP^® exam in their area. When exams are scheduled, they will be listed here.

There are currently NO hosted exams scheduled.
