Study Materials and Examinations


Study Materials

Study Materials, Exam Application and Online Study Registration

Study materials for each course are:

  • Study Manual/Learning Guide - contains an outline of the reading, questions and answers on subject matter, key concepts and sample examination questions.
     
  • Textbook - and/or collections of required or recommended readings.
     
  • Practice Exams on CD - Each study manual includes a practice exam on CD designed to assist you in preparing for the national exam by testing your knowledge of the course material and familiarizing you with the mechanics of taking a computer-based exam. The 100-question practice exam features mark and review functions, automatic scoring and a two-hour time clock. In addition questions are referenced back to the study materials to assist in your review process. The Practice Exam is not a substitute for knowing the required study materials. A thorough understanding can be obtained only by careful review of the study manual and textbook for each course. A successful score on the Practice Exam should not be construed as a guarantee of successful performance in the actual exam.
     

Examinations

To qualify for the CEBS designation, you must pass all eight examinations. Only CEBS registrants may file examination applications. The fee is $285 per exam (or $265 if study materials are ordered at the same time or if you are an active member of the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans). You will select a testing quarter in which you wish to take your exam and then make a testing appointment at one of over 300 computer-based testing locations throughout the country. Additional fees apply for retakes and for transferring an examination to a future date.

Refer to or request the Catalog of Information for enrollment details.
