lyn@members-of-the-board-association.comFrequently Asked
Questions
1. How comprehensive are the slides? Are they
just bullet points?
Answer: The slides are not just bullet points, you can read them,
understand and learn. But, they are not a book. These are the
official slides we use in our instructor led classes.
2. Do I need to buy books to pass the exam?
Answer: No. If you study the slides carefully, you can pass the
exam. If you fail the first time, it is not a failure, it is an
opportunity to study more. Print the slides and use Post-it to
attach notes like "COSO" "Operational Risk" etc. to know where to
find the answer of the material you do not remember.
3. Is it an open book exam? Why?
Answer: Yes, it is an open book exam. How to lead an organization,
exercise oversight and help to to achieve objectives is not
something you have to memorize, it is something you have to
understand.
4. Do I have to sit for the exam soon after
receiving the presentations?
Answer: No. You can sit for the exam from your office or home any
time in the future. We will create an online account that never
expires.
5. Do I have to spend more money in the future
to remain certified? Does the certification lose its value after
some time?
Answer: No. Your certificate never expires. It will be valid without
the need to spend money or to sit for another exam in the future.
6. Ok, the certificate never expires, but
things change...
Answer: If a university degree never expires, why should our
certificate expire? Yes, things change, and exactly this is the
reason you need to become a member of the Association. Membership is
free. You will receive a monthly newsletter with updates, alerts and
opportunities to remain current. There is no cost for that.
7. How many hours do I need to study in order
to pass the exam?
Answer: It depends on your knowledge and experience. You must study
the presentations carefully. You must go through the slides another
time, and ensure you have learned the details. It will take 30 - 50
hours.
8. I want to learn more about the online exam.
Answer: You will be given 90 minutes to complete a 35 question
multiple-choice exam. You must score 70% or higher.
9. Why should I be certified?
Answer: After the failures of so many organizations during the
current market crisis, and the risk that shareholders may sue senior
management and the board of directors for gross negligence, there is
a need for a much better understanding in risk and compliance
management.
Organizations need assurance that the board has the knowledge and
skills to mitigate risks and to accept more responsibility.
Supervisors and auditors ask for independent evidence that the board
is capable to exerce oversight.
It is important to be certified and to belong to professional
associations. You prove that you are somebody who cares, learns, and
belongs to a global community of professionals.
10. Why should I choose your certification
program?
Answer: It is always wise to investigate first. You may search for
other programs first.
If you choose our distance learning and online certification
program:
1. You receive the training material (the official presentations of
the instructor-led class).
2. You can pass the exam. There are 3 exams that are included in the
price, so you do not have to pay again if you fail.
3. You do not need to spend money or to sit for another exam again
in the future to remain certified.
Your certificate never expires.
4. You become member to the Association and receive monthly updates,
news and alerts.
5. You become known to 15+ of the best headhunters of the world, as
