Procedures and conditions for taking the OACIQ examination
You must successfully complete a basic training recognized by the OACIQ before registering for a certification examination.
Step 1: Apply for an OACIQ exam
After consulting the exam calendar to see the date that suits you, fill out the Examination Application on the Examination Forms page. It is important to sign the form and attach all required documents in PDF format (proof of identity, transcript, and payment). Send everything to examen@oaciq.com in a single email no later than the last day of the registration period specified in the calendar of examinations, under Details. Otherwise, you will not be registered for the desired session. You will then have to choose a new session based on the spaces available on the calendar.
Step 2: Notice of examination
The OACIQ will confirm the time and place of the examination by email, 20 days before the scheduled date.
