CPCU® Testing Windows
CPCU® exams can only be taken during the open CPCU® testing windows. This is one of the challenges of the CPCU®, and one of the reasons that the CPCU® certification can take up to 3 years on average.
There are four testing windows during the year (one during each quarter). The testing window is open for two months at a time and then closed for one month. Meaning, there are 8 months of “open” exam time when you can take your CPCU® exam and four months during the year when the testing window is “closed”.
Dates: CPCU® Testing Windows
You can take your virtual CPCU® exam any time during an open testing window. The CPCU® testing windows are open as follows:
- Quarter One: January 15th to March 15th
- Quarter Two: April 15th to June 15th
- Quarter Three: July 15th to September 15th
- Quarter Four: October 15th to December 15th
This same testing window applies to all exams administered by The Institutes including the CPCU®, ARM™, AINS™, and API™.
