If a candidate has purchased the exam bundled with a training course, they do not need torepurchase the training course with each attempt. Only the exam should be repurchased.  \nCandidates may repurchase and reattempt the exam as many times as necessary.  \nWaiting Period  \nCandidates must wait at least 24 hours after failing the CFPM Exam before making an additional attempt. A 24-hour waiting period will be placed on their account before allowing them to repurchase the exam.  \nAppeals  \nCandidates who fail the exam due to circumstances beyond their control may appeal for another attempt of the CFPM Exam. Appeals must follow the procedure described in the Complaints and Appeals Policy and Procedure found in the policy center on our website.  \nIf a candidate appeals for an additional CFPM Exam attempt due to an abnormality in the testing experience, the proctor must have documented the abnormality in the exam session report for the appeal to be considered. If the proctor has not documented the abnormality in a session report, a representative of the Company will reach out to the proctor to establish if the incident occurred and, if so, why it was not documented.  \n\n| Version Number | Edited Date | Author | Approved By | Effective Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | 3/7/2017 | Emilee Follett | Franklin Lewis | 3/7/2017 |\n| 2 | 4/9/2019 | Katie Heil | Emilee Follett | 4/9/2019 |\n| 3 | 1/13/2021 | Katie Heil | Emilee Follett | 1/13/2021 |\n| 4 | 8/9/2021 | Katie Heil | Emilee Follett | 8/9/2021 |\n| 5 | 5/8/2024 | Chelsea Breeze | Kim Brophy | 6/7/2024 |","cbCaimRKFUT1QAMa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimRKFUT1QAMa","pdf",132077,"English","# Scope\n# Examination Failure\n# Waiting Period\n# Appeals","[{\"question\":\"What must a candidate do after failing the CFPM Exam?\",\"answer\":\"The candidate must repurchase the exam (including proctoring fees) and register for a new exam session for each retake attempt.\"},{\"question\":\"Is repurchasing required when the exam was bundled with a training course?\",\"answer\":\"No. If the exam was purchased bundled with a training course, only the exam needs to be repurchased; the training course does not.\"},{\"question\":\"How soon can a candidate retake the CFPM Exam after failing?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates must wait at least 24 hours after failing the CFPM Exam.
