Do I need to book my CeMAP exam?

No. CeMAP exams are on demand: the exam link on Brightspace is open around the clock until you complete it or your registration ends. You can sit units on the same day or on different days.

Can I take a toilet break during a CeMAP exam?

No. Walbrook says toilet breaks aren’t allowed during the exam, so go just before you start. Most units are an hour; the final case-study unit is two.

Can I sit CeMAP on a work laptop?

Yes, if it lets the exam through. On a work device or VPN, ask your IT team to allow *.learnosity.com and *.atomicjoltappsie.com before the day, as Walbrook advises.

What equipment do I need for a CeMAP exam?

A PC or laptop with a webcam, and nothing to install. The webcam has to move, because you show the whole room in a 360-degree scan before you start, so a laptop or a webcam on a cable is easiest.

When do I get my CeMAP result?

The same day. You can ask Walbrook to review a result within 10 working days of getting it, and your feedback comes as an analysis sheet on MyLIBF.

Remote exam checklist for CeMAP

Every CeMAP exam is now sat at home on Walbrook's Brightspace platform, watched through your webcam. Work through this list a day or two before, so nothing on the day stops you starting.

From Walbrook's page on the 2025 changes, exam information and the CeMAP specification. Items marked “usual” are what remote invigilation generally expects rather than something Walbrook states for CeMAP. Checked 6 November 2026.

A day or two before

A PC or laptop with a webcam. Walbrook says any will do and there's nothing to install.
A webcam you can move. You scan the whole room, 360 degrees, before the exam starts.
On a work laptop or VPN, ask IT to allow *.learnosity.com and *.atomicjoltappsie.com.
Photo ID in the name you registered with, such as a passport or driving licence. Usual.
A quiet room you'll have to yourself for the whole exam, with a door you can close. Usual.
A steady internet connection. If the Wi-Fi is weak where you'll sit, move closer to the router or plug in a cable.
Check the rules on calculators and scrap paper on MyLIBF or with Walbrook. We couldn't find them published for the new units.

On the day

Go to the toilet just before. There are no toilet breaks during the exam.
Clear the desk of notes, books and papers, and put your phone and smartwatch in another room. Usual.
Close every other program and browser tab, and turn off a VPN, ad blocker or second monitor. Usual.
Plug in the laptop rather than relying on the battery.
Leave a few minutes for the room scan before you mean to start.
Pace yourself: one hour for 40 questions in FRE1 and FRE2, so about 90 seconds a question, with the case studies at the end.

After the exam

Your result comes the same day.
Your feedback comes as an analysis sheet on MyLIBF, showing where you dropped marks.
You can ask for a result to be reviewed within 10 working days of getting it.
If you need a resit, you can sit a unit up to 3 times in a week and 10 times in any 12 months. Each resit is £120.
