You book the exam yourself, directly with the BCI. It is now delivered online only, so it no longer takes place on the last day of the course.

These are the minimum requirements:

• A desktop computer or laptop in good working order with 1 GB of RAM or more. Tablets, Chromebooks and mobile phones cannot be used.
• A working webcam (640x480 video resolution) and microphone, built in or external.
• Working speakers connected to the computer.
• An internet connection of at least 2 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload. Hotspots are not recommended.
• A browser (IE/Edge, Firefox, Chrome or Safari) with the pop-up blocker turned off.

Sitting the exam connects you to a site outside your network’s security settings. If you take it at work, ask your IT department to open ports 80, 443 and 1935.

No. The course once ran over five days, with four days of training and the exam on day five. Since COVID the exam has been available online only, and you can book it for any time. We recommend sitting it as soon as you can after the course, to get the most from the GPG training and your learning.

The BCI provides the GPG as a PDF soft copy, and printing it is not permitted. If you would rather have a hard copy, you can order one from the BCI website.
