KASNEB CPS Exam
The KASNEB CPS examination is held twice yearly in June and December. The examination is divided into three parts of two sections each. Each section consists of three papers.
A candidate may attempt two sections in a part together or separately in ascending order but before proceeding to the next part, a candidate must pass the lower part.
KASNEB CPS Course Duration
The examination is rigorous and standards are high therefore a candidate is advised to devote approximately the equivalent of eighteen months of full-time study for each part of the examination.
Ideally, therefore, a student should be able to complete the CPS examination in between four and a half and six years.
A student should programme the studies in such a way that makes it possible to take and pass the three parts in a duration of between four and a half and six years following the date of registration as a student of KASNEB.
In this way, a candidate will be able to set aside three years as a margin of safety in case of unforeseen circumstances in the preparation for the examination.
