ACPM Exam Registration
The ACPM Diploma is a document that proves the qualification of the holder. It can be obtained upon successful completion of an official online exam for the selected ACPM program.
ACPM exams are administered online. The exams are taken several times a month. After registering online as a student, you will be able to select the program you wish to take the ACPM exam and use the calendar to book an exam date for the selected program.
You can take the exams in several languages, select the program and find out in which languages it is available for assessment.
Exam structure
The ACPM exam is an online exam with a proctor system. You can take it from a computer under the remote supervision of an examiner (proctor). The proctor monitors the webcam image and the candidate's desktop.
The exam tests the candidate's analytical and computational skills. It therefore consists of two sections:
The theoretical part contains multiple-choice questions with one or more correct answers.
The practical part contains cases or tasks to be solved.
The duration of the exam: 2-3 hours.
Passing score - from 60 to 80 points depending on the chosen field. The maximum score is 100 points.
Results will be ready and available within 2-3 weeks after the exam in your personal account and sent to the email address specified during registration in ACPM.
The electronic diploma is also sent by email within 2-3 weeks, if the required number of points is achieved, the printed version of the diploma is delivered to the student within 2 months.

ACPM's Examination Appeal Procedure
The Academy of Certified Professional Managers (ACPM) has a procedure for appealing the results of online examinations, which are proctored to ensure a high degree of objectivity. This eliminates issues of administrative errors in the administration of the exams.
Appeal Procedure
If a student does not agree with the results received, he/she may appeal to the ACРM Examination Centre to request a revision of the paper.
Appeal: The student must request an appeal within 14 calendar days of receiving the examination results.
Payment for an appeal: The cost of an appeal is £62. Payment is a prerequisite for starting the appeal process as it covers the cost of writing the review.
Appeal Review: Once payment is confirmed, ACРM specialists review the examination process and the student's work. All exam conditions are checked to ensure that all exam conditions have been met and the answers are analysed in detail.
Review: During the appeal review, a report is compiled, detailing the thorough results of the evaluation.
Appeal Outcome: The student receives a detailed report via email that describes the findings of the review.
Important: A student may appeal the same examination only once.
