Examinations take the form of a 180-minute written examination. Examinations for Modules A, C and D are held every year in May and the examination for Module B is held in October.
If you have already passed the specialist course examinations in ERM 1 and/or ERM 2 as part of your DAV education and training, these will automatically be accredited to your CERA education and training, meaning that you will only need to pass the examinations in the subjects you have not yet completed..
