Exam Format

The CRM54, CRM55 and CRM56 exams are administered in a virtual format on The Institutes' virtual learning management system. Exams are 70 multiple-choice questions; candidates have one hour and 40 minutes to complete an exam. Exams are divided into two sections: the first section consists of 50 questions, and the second section consists of 20 questions. Exam access is available on the first day upon receiving a virtual platform login. Exam access ends on December 15th of the current year.
