We are developing a new CAWA exam which will be available in January, 2025.

The new exam has an updated, streamlined, and less expensive reference list; plus it will be significantly discounted while it’s in a beta phase. Beta means you won’t get your exam results for several months. Apply now and you can choose which exam you take.
