What do I need to write an exam?

- Register online for the exam sitting of your choice. See here for a complete listing of times and locations. Only payment by Visa and Mastercard are accepted.
- Computer based examinations (CBE) have been fully implemented in Calgary and Edmonton exam centres. The Alberta Insurance Council (AIC) would like to ask you to review this exam tutorial so you are familiar with the platform. Examinees must know/use their CIPR # or CIPR email address and password to log into the computer and start the CBE.
- A scientific calculator is provided within the CBE. The AIC would like to ask you to review this scientific calculator so you are familiar with all the features.
Applicants must arrive 15 minutes prior to the examination start time to allow for check-in and to avoid forfeiting your exam fee. Once the exam has started late arrivals will not be admitted into the exam room and are considered to have forfeited their exam fee.
