But how exactly do you navigate through the maze of exam booking procedures? Fear not, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we'll walk you through the precise steps to book your CeMAP exam, making the process crystal clear.

 

Step 1:

Registering with The London Institute of Banking and Finance (LIBF)

First things first, you need to register with The London Institute of Banking & Finance (LIBF), the awarding body for the CeMAP Qualification. The registration process is straightforward. At the outset, you'll select which CeMAP Module you wish to tackle first - Module 1, 2, or 3. The registration fee includes the exam fee, so no hidden surprises there. Here’s a breakdown of the registration/exam fee:

• CeMAP 1: £215
• CeMAP 2: £215
• CeMAP 3: £215
• Resit fee (in case of a failed attempt): £180

Booking the CeMAP Exam through Pearson VUE
