Self-study or training

When preparing for a Foundation-level exam, you have the option of taking up self-study, or training through an EXIN-accredited training provider. Formal training is compulsory for all higher level examinations. Book your own exam with EXIN.

Choose an accredited trainer to ensure you are getting all the preparation you need, in terms of both content and assistance.
