Exams
CIW modules offered by the University of the West of Scotland are assessed
using official CIW exams. Each module requires you to pass one exam, with the
exception of Web Languages for which
two exams are required. Exam content is provided by CIW - again with one
exception: the Java Programming course
which is assessed using Sun's official exam where a pass is recognised by both Sun and CIW.
CIW exams are fairly expensive if you use a commercial testing centre like
Pearson VUE or Prometric. However, by registering with the University you will
be offered a free exam attempt, and discounted resits,
provided you use the University's Test Centre.
The free exam must be taken by the cut-off date
announced by your course tutor. Normally the cut-off date will be 6 weeks after the last class.
Any exam taken after the cut-off date - be it your first attempt or a resit - is chargable.
