CPIA-I Exam

Learning objectives 

The exam is the final step in achieving the CPIA-I designation.

The exam is intended to verify your understanding of the key components of each course and how they fit together, establishing your knowledge of the role of evidence at all stages of the project cycle. 

Exam Preparation

The exam is designed to be achievable for those who have completed the three courses. It focuses on breadth of knowledge and does not require in-depth study of each topic (CBA, financial analysis, impact evaluation, etc.).

Those registered for the exam will receive recap questions for each course one week before the exam date. If you have successfully completed the three courses, we recommend that exam preparation focus on reviewing the recap questions.
