Study Mode

You can prepare for each module at home provided you have access to a computer with an adequate specification and with Windows 10 and Office 2016 onwards installed. Check with us regarding System Requirements for guidance. This is ideal if you have good IT skills already so you can fit your training around your schedule.

Alternatively (and preferably especially when getting started), you can book to come to our IT Suite and avail of tutor support. Many learners prefer the structure of having a set time and place away from distractions to help them progress.

The e-learning materials are available for up to one year.

You may prefer to try one of our short workshops to practice the main skills needed for the modules. The approach is slightly different in that you will be using the software to complete typical tasks that you would encounter in a day to day work, study or leisure environment.

Once you have learned and practiced the skills using the e-learning materials there are a pack of practice tests to help you prepare for the exam. The online diagnostic test also gives you a good idea of the exam setup and gives you feedback on where there are gaps in your knowledge.

The exam which is taken online will need to be booked to take place in FRCI. You have one hour to complete the test and the pass mark is 75%.
