​The M-100 course and all 200-level courses include a multiple-choice examination. Participants will receive an e-mail after the course with information on accessing the online exam. Results are available immediately.

All registrants for any of CAI's online courses are provided two opportunities to take the exam. Students must complete the second attempt within the 120 day window associated with the course. Upon successful completion of the exam, individuals will instantly have access to a certificate of completion.

To protect student confidentiality, CAI provides exam results only to the student and only online. No grades will be released via telephone, fax, or e-mail.

Exam Retest

If you score below a 70 percent, you can retake the exam for $50. You must submit your retake request within 60 days of grade notification. The retake exam must be completed within 14 days after exam enrollment. If you fail to retake the exam or you do not pass after completing your retake, you will be required to retake the course at the full tuition price. Retake requests can be sent to caieducation@caionline.org.

CMCA Exam

The M-100 course, while recognized as fulfilling the educational prerequisite to establish CMCA eligibility, is not intended to be a CMCA preparatory course. Neither CAMICB nor CAI assert that completing the M-100 will enhance examination performance.
 
CMCA exam preparation tools and reference materials offered or suggested by CAMICB are presented as one component of candidate preparation for the CMCA examination.  The use and/or purchase of any preparatory or reference tool is entirely optional.  CAMICB does not assert that use of any single tool or combination of tools will enhance candidate performance.  CMCA candidates are encouraged to develop a personal study plan incorporating a wide range of study tools and reference materials.
