Examination

What happens if I fail my exam?

ArchiStar will give each member one opportunity to sit an examination as part of their membership. If you fail your examination you will need to pay $24.95 on each occasion to resit the exam. We take our courses and examinations seriously, and encourage you to prepare prior to commencing.

Why do I need to pay to re-sit my examinations?

By incurring a $24.95 fee for each exam re-sit, ArchiStar maintains credibility for industry / users who prepare for examination. This reduces the likelihood of members misusing the online examination process.

When do certificates expire?

As we continually update online training courses to remain current in the industry, all certification is valid for 1 year from the date of completion. We encourage all members to resit exams to hold a current certification.

How can I re-sit examinations?

If you would like to resit an exam, a link will be available in the [Exam Results] page found under each Course Outline. You can purchase another exam attempt by following the prompts.
