ABE - Exemption & Registration

Students wishing to register with the Association should download and complete the registration form below and submit it to either ABE or MCG together with appropriate fees, copies of educational qualifications (in English) and evidence of relevant working experience where necessary.

All prospective students must enroll with ABE at the commencement of their studies in order that any exemptions may be confirmed at that time.

If you hold a qualification from another professional body or a University, which is very similar in content and level to the ABE qualification, you could qualify for exemption from some of the ABE Diploma examinations. (There are no exemptions from the Certificate or Advanced Diploma levels.) Please forward a copy of your qualification to the Registrar who will be able to advise you further.

Exemption applications (See Registration Form) must be supported by documentary evidence (in English) for assessment. Any exemptions granted will be confirmed in writing, together with details of the exemption fee due.

Exemptions from Diploma subjects may be granted to holders of qualifications of certain other professional bodies, provided always that such qualifications have been obtained by external examination.

IMIS Diploma holders may check ---here--- for exemptions which are permitted by ABE.

No exemption will be granted from any subject previously failed in the examinations of the Association.
