We support the GCD through a programme of three intensive online exam preparation sessions. During these sessions, you will practice exam-style questions with your tutor and have the opportunity to ask any questions you have on the learning material and exam. 

Recommended for all GCD candidates, you can book your place when registering for your exam, or add it to a previously registered exam in your My CIBD account under My Qualifications.

The scope of CIBD examinations is always the syllabus and is not limited to the learning materials.  For a breakdown of what candidates will be examined, please download the syllabus.

In advance of your examination, a series of instructions and support mechanisms will be sent to you by email which will include the requirement to download an application for the CIBD examination platform supplier.

Once you have followed these instructions you will be able to take your test on the computer you downloaded the Application onto. You take your test by logging into your account and connecting with your remote invigilator who will go through a series of checks with you before starting your exam.
