About this credential
What it covers
Body of knowledge
Exam blueprint
The exam is assembled to these weights on every attempt. They are published before purchase because a blueprint you cannot see is not a blueprint.
| Domain | Proportion of exam | Weight | Items |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legal architecture and jurisdiction: who regulates what1 | 14%≈ 6 items | ≈ 6 | |
| Classification: the CCL, ECCNs, the USML, and EAR992 | 16%≈ 7 items | ≈ 7 | |
| Exclusions and exemptions in the academic setting3 | 18%≈ 7 items | ≈ 7 | |
| Deemed exports and foreign national access4 | 14%≈ 6 items | ≈ 6 | |
| Restricted parties, end-use and end-user controls, and sanctions5 | 14%≈ 6 items | ≈ 6 | |
| Institutional compliance programme operations6 | 14%≈ 6 items | ≈ 6 | |
| Enforcement, disclosure, penalties and interfaces7 | 10%≈ 4 items | ≈ 4 | |
| Total | 100% | 41 |
Item counts are approximate. Each attempt draws a fresh form to the weights above, so the exact number of items per domain varies between attempts.

Assessment
How the exam works
The exam is closed-book and multiple choice. Each attempt draws a fresh form to the domain weights above, so no two attempts are the same paper and no answer key circulates. The pass mark is 70% and is fixed — there is no curve, no quota and no adjustment by cohort.
Scoring is immediate. You are shown your overall result and, for every item, the option you chose, the correct option and the reasoning behind it — whether you passed or not. A failed attempt may be retaken after 90 days. The wait exists so a retake is a second attempt at the material rather than a second attempt at remembering the paper.
Forms are assembled to the blueprint above or not at all: where a domain cannot yet be sampled to that standard, the exam declines to start rather than issue an unbalanced paper. Your material and progress are never affected, and there is no time limit on when you sit.
Passing candidates are issued a certificate with a verification code. Anyone can check that code on our public verification page without an account and without contacting us.
