Do I need to take an exam?

If you are attending the CIC Institute to earn the CIC designation, you must take and pass the exam.

If you are attending the CIC Institute only for CE credit or for your CIC designation annual update credit, you DO NOT need to take the exam. Your attendance is validated by the attendance polls, and an exam is not required.

You do not need to take the exam for the Ruble Graduate Seminar

Following the CIC Institute, your exam will be available on your My Profile Page through the National Alliance website.  The exam window is 96 hours, starting the Monday at 12:01am to Thursday at 11:59pm following the close of the course.  You can complete the exam at anytime during those 96 hours.   Once you open the link and start the exam you have to finish it.

Do I need a proctor for the exam?

Yes, the exam must be proctored, meaning someone must see you take the test and confirm that you did not use any course materials or notes to take the test.   All exam-takers will need a disinterested third-party to proctor them.  More information can be found at https://scic.com/proctor-monitor-rules .

When do I get my results?

Your exam results will be available in 4-6 weeks after you complete the test on your myprofile page through The National Alliance.  You login https://www.scic.com/customer/account/login to your myprofile page
