How many times can I retake the final examination?
As many times as necessary in order to pass and successfully complete the certification level. You will need to pay a fee of USD 250 each time you retake the exam.
How many times can I retake the formative assessments?
As many times as you wish until you are confident that you have done well and understood the content of the module.
Why does the Curriculum include formative assessments?
The Curriculum includes formative assessments to give participants a clear indication and understanding of their knowledge gaps. It also allows participants to manage their learning plan better.
What is the duration of the final online exam?
The final examination lasts 90 minutes.
How do I best prepare for the final exam?
By attempting and successfully completing all the formative assessments at the end of every module. The final exam will consist of 80 questions in the multiple-choice format that need to be answered in 90 minutes.
Do I have to complete the final exam in one session?
Yes, a timer starts running at the start of the summative examination. You have the option to pause the examination 3 times (the same happens if there is a disconnect for technical reasons) for a total of 90 minutes.
How will I receive my certificate on successful completion?
As an online participant, you will receive your certificate by mail. Participants who do a program with a partner institution on-site will have their ITI certificate sent to that institution.
Domains
Why is the course divided into domains?
The use of domains provides a structured approach with which you can better manage your learning journey through the program.
How many times can I take a domain-level assessment?
As many times as required until you completed successfully and the next domain unlocks for you.
Do I have to complete one domain before I can move onto the next?
Yes. The next domain will only unlock once you have successfully completed the previous domain. If you fail the domain-level assessment, the system will advise you go back and review all the modules within the domain.
Do I have to complete all the domains and modules before I can take the final exam?
Yes, access to the final examination is only given once you have completed all 6 domain level assessments.
Payment information
Can I pay my fees in installments?
No, the fee amount has to be paid in full at the time of registration.
