From 1st of April 2021 onwards the exam in version 3.0. will come into effect. If English is not a native language for the examinee, the time of writing an exam might be prolonged up to 90 minutes.

For now, examinees are obliged to take the exam in syllabus version 2.2. After sharing the Polish version of preparatory materials, there will be a 6 month transition period, when you may pass the exam in both versions. Later the only binding version will be syllabus 3.0.

At advanced level, Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering Advanced Level (CPRE AL) there are four specialisations available to choose from:
