The Testing Process

Who supervises SABSA exams?

All examination modules are monitored and supervised by an authorised invigilator appointed by the SABSA Institute.

What should I know about the on-site registration process?

Candidates are required to sign in at the exam venue at least thirty minutes before the commencement of the exam. You will be required to provide photographic proof of identity such as a driving license, passport, or national identity card.

Under what rules are SABSA examinations run?

SABSA utilises a closed book exam format.  Text books, course materials, and reference materials of any kind are not permitted in the exam room during the exam.

Electronic equipment including laptop computers, mobile phones, PDAs, Blackberries etc. are not to be used inside the examination room.  Where a candidate has electronic equipment with them during the training course that precedes the exam module, the equipment must be switched off and ‘put away’ in a bag or briefcase etc. and all bags to be removed to a place designated by the exam supervisor.

No candidate is permitted to return to the exam room after leaving during the test, except when escorted by an exam supervisor.

Where two or more exam modules are run contiguously at the same venue, a short break will be scheduled between modules.
