CGIUKI student status
While you are registered as an CGIUKI student, you can use the term ‘CGIUKI student’ to describe your status. You are not a member of CGIUKI and you cannot describe yourself as a Chartered Secretary or Chartered Governance Professional.
Professional ethics and conduct
As an CGIUKI student, however, you are a potential future Chartered Secretary or Chartered Governance Professional and we expect that your professional ethics and conduct will be equal to that of a full member while you are studying. As such, when you agree to the CGIUKI student rules and regulations, you agree to abide by the:
- CGIUKI Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct
- CGIUKI Instructions for Exam Candidates
Registering as a student
When you register, you need to state when you are going to attempt your first exam. You must register to take an exam in one of the next two available sessions (June or November) after you register.
Entering for exams
We publish deadlines for entering each exam session. These are usually 1 April for the June exam session and 1 October for the November session.
After you have registered and entered for the exam(s), you can pay an administrative fee to defer an exam to a later date as long as you do this before the 1 April/1 October deadlines. After these deadlines, we will usually keep your exam entry fee for that session even if you cannot attend. If you cannot attend the exam due to serious illness or bereavement, please contact us.
Re-sits
If you fail the exam at your first attempt, you have three opportunities to re-sit. You need to pay a separate re-sit fee, this is not covered in your qualification registration fee.
You have two years from your first exam attempt to complete the exam for your Level 5 Certificate in Fund Administration qualification and any re-sits.
Exam attendance
If you don’t attend an exam, this is registered as a ‘fail’ and counts as one of the four attempts at the exam which you are allowed. If there is a reason why you can’t attend, contact us to let us know and we may change your ‘fail’ result to ‘withdrawn’. A ‘withdrawn’ exam would not count as one of your four attempts.
Progression
If you complete the Certificate and wish to continue to study the International Finance and Administration programme, we would then assess you for entry as a new student. You may need to start the full programme at a lower level than the Fund Administration module, but you would not need to take it a second time.
Please read the full CGIUKI student rules and regulations.
