Signing up to the Chartership Exam

To be able to take your Chartership exam both your mentor and supervisor need to approve you. The latest deadlines for your mentor to nominate you to take the exam are two quarters before the exam e.g.

• To take May exam, mentor nomination no later than quarter 4 (7 January) with supervisor approval by 1 February.
• To take November exam, mentor nomination no later than quarter 2 (7 June) with supervisor approval by 1 August.

Registration and Payment

You must then register and pay to formally sign up for a particular exam session. This is done through your Pathway account, under the Exams tab.

• To take May exam, register by 28 February.
• To take November exam, register by 31 August.

Places are allocated on a first come, first serve basis, so we recommend registering as soon as you’ve decided you want to take the exam.

Download your receipt

You can download a pdf receipt from your Pathway account, under My Details > Payments. As this is a membership fee, there is no associated VAT.

Can my employer pay?

Yes! The easiest way is to use your company credit/debit card while paying online from your Pathway account. If this isn’t possible, you can request an invoice from the LI. All exam registration fees must reach the LI by the registration deadline, otherwise you will not be allowed to take your exam in that session.
