Exam format
All AIA qualifications are assessed online through computer-based exams. There are two exam sittings each year, in May and November.
Exams are taken at home using remote invigilation. The AIA online exam platform includes spreadsheet and word processing tools, and requires a setup process before exam day. Full guidance is provided once you register.
