Hello,


It usually takes 5-7 days for getting confirmation and the registration number through email. However, if you have still not received any confirmation, I highly recommend you to connect with the support team or the concerned authority regarding this because there might have been some technical issue with the website and it's best to connect with the support team to get the best solution.


Hope this helps,

Thank you

Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing well. If you fail the CMA Foundation Exam and are attempting it again you must register for the exam and pay the exam fee again. As long as you retake the exam within the 3 year period, you don't have to pay the program entrance fee again. You only need to retake the exam part that was not cleared.

All the best!

Hi Candidate,

In order to know about your exam center, you can do the following;

  • Observe at your admit card. There should be mentioned about your exam centre location.
  • If it is not mentioned, then there might be some portal in organization website. Login to your portal and observe if there is an option to locate your exam centre.
  • If not, I strongly suggest you to contact the organization helpline as it might be a bug for your admit card. You can also ask your friends if they are facing the same issue.
