The system should be accessible from any web browser, e.g. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari, via laptops and mobile devices.

The system must be able to integrate with existing AICB systems, including:

• Integrated Membership and Qualification System (IMQS)

The system should cover two key business areas:

• Exam development, which includes the following processes:
  • Question bank management

  • Test assembly functions
• Exam registration and delivery, which includes the following processes:
  • Eligibility Setting
  • Exam Scheduling
  • Exam Registration
  • Identity Verification
  • Remote Proctoring

Members can either opt to attempt an examination via remote proctoring at their preferred location, or at an accredited test centre.
