• Exam Format

Examinations will be open-book and three hours in length. They may consist of a combination of multiple choice, true/false, short answer and case study questions as STEP may decide.

Examinations are graded separately and, for the Diploma to be awarded, a passing mark of 60% must be achieved in each examination.

• Exam Timing and Location

There will be two exam sittings a year, one in March and one in September. The exact dates for any given year will be announced by January 1st. Exams will be administered everywhere a STEP Canada branch is located: Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver.

When you enrol for a course, you will be asked to choose and register for either one of the next two sittings. You must choose a sitting that is at least four months after your date of registration. We will send you an email with the full location details well in advance of your sitting date.

All students of the Diploma program must abide by the STEP Diploma for Canada Examination Rules & Regulations. To review them, click here.
