The Securities & Investment Institute (SII) offers its Introduction Award, IAQ and Certificate examinations around the world by Computer Based Testing (CBT) which are available to candidates at Testing Venues around the world through a comprehensive agreement with Thomson Prometric, the SII's global examination delivery partner.

Please see the attached Examination Dates for dates when these examinations became available by CBT.

Please note that examination dates and times at overseas CBT exam centres are subject to availability and can be checked via the Online Booking system. If you are unable to find a convenient date, or have any problems booking online, please contact Client Services for further advice.

The SII Diploma and Advanced Certificates are currently not tested by CBT but can be sat as written examinations by arrangement with the SII. Examinations are normally written at British Council global examination service centres. For information on how to register and arrange a written examination for an Advanced Certificate or SII Diploma paper, please see the SII Diploma and Advanced Certificate booking procedures and closing dates.
