GARP's standard — and final — registration deadline for the November 2026 FRM Exam is September 30, 2026, at the USD 800 fee per part. Early registration (USD 600) already closed July 31, and there is no registration window after September 30 for this sitting, so this is the last chance to sit in November. New candidates also pay a one-time USD 400 enrollment fee when registering for Part I.

Part I is scheduled November 14–20 and Part II November 21–25, 2026. Register and book your exam appointment now — payment must reach GARP by 11:59 PM ET on September 30 to count.

GARP FRM Registration & Fees

Planning to earn the Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) credential this winter? Registration for the December 1, 2026 – January 31, 2027 testing window is open now. The early application deadline is September 23, 2026, and the final application deadline is October 28, 2026. Applying by the early date locks in your eligibility and gives you the widest choice of appointment slots.

Once AFP approves your application, you schedule your exam at a testing center or via online proctoring within the window. Confirm you meet the work-experience and education eligibility requirements before you apply.

CTP Exam Deadlines & Scheduling

Two CPA Exam score releases are almost here. Candidates who sat a Discipline section — BAR, ISC, or TCP — during the July 1–31, 2026 window get their scores on September 11, 2026. Discipline scores release only a few times a year, so this is the date many have been waiting on. For Core sections (AUD, FAR, REG), the next target release is September 15, 2026 for exams processed by September 7 (the most recent Core release was August 25).

Scores appear in your NASBA CPA Portal on the target date, usually by end of day. If you tested in these windows, watch the portal — and remember Discipline sections are only offered in the first month of each quarter, so the next Discipline sitting after this is October.

The ICAI CA September 2026 exams are just days away. CA Intermediate begins September 1, 2026 (Group 1, Advanced Accounting) and CA Foundation starts September 2, 2026, with papers running through mid-September in the standard 2:00 PM afternoon slots. Admit cards (hall tickets) for both Foundation and Intermediate are already live on the ICAI eservices portal.

If you're sitting this attempt, download and print your admit card now, confirm your exam centre and reporting time, and carry a valid photo ID on exam day. Don't wait for the final weekend — portal traffic spikes as exams approach.

ICAI Admit Card — eservices Portal

The ICAI CA September 2026 admit cards (hall tickets) are out. ICAI activated the download link for CA Foundation and CA Intermediate on 14 August 2026. This matters immediately: the exams begin in early September, and your admit card is the document you must carry to the exam hall. Download it now, check every detail, and report any error to ICAI right away rather than on exam day.

ICAI CA September 2026 exam dates

CA Intermediate exams begin first (1 September), followed by CA Foundation (2 September). Papers are held in the afternoon session; confirm the exact reporting time and duration for each of your papers on your admit card, as timings can differ by paper.

How to download your admit card

• Go to the ICAI Self Service Portal at eservices.icai.org.
• Select your level (Foundation or Intermediate).
• Log in with your student registration number and password, or your SSP (Self Service Portal) login.
• Open the admit card, review it, and print it.

Print at least two colour copies and keep them with a valid photo ID for exam day.

Check these details right away

On your admit card, verify your name, photograph, roll number, exam centre, exam dates and reporting time. If anything is wrong, contact the ICAI exam helpdesk immediately for a correction. Fixing a discrepancy now is far easier than discovering it at the centre on exam day.

What about CA Final?

CA Final admit cards for the November 2026 sitting will be released closer to those exams. If you are a CA Final student, watch the ICAI Self Service Portal for that download link nearer the time.

While you wait for exam day, keep your concepts sharp with free CA practice questions on Professional Career Club, with instant feedback and no signup needed.

Exam dates are as published by ICAI and can change; always confirm the details on your official admit card and the ICAI portal.

If you sat a CPA Core section recently, your next scoring milestone is close. For the current 2026 schedule, candidates whose exam data file reaches the AICPA by August 15 have a target score-release date of August 25, 2026. Miss that data-file cutoff and your score rolls to the next target date of September 15 (for files received by September 7). Scores generally post within 48 hours of the target date, usually just after midnight Eastern, though a few state boards take an extra day to release.

What to do now: confirm which target window your section falls into based on your test date, then check your NASBA/state-board account on and just after August 25. Don't panic if it's not there at 12:01 a.m. — give it the full 48-hour posting window.

The August 2026 CFA exam window is officially underway. Level III testing runs August 13–17, Level I follows August 18–24, and Level II wraps up August 25–29. If you're sitting this window, the rescheduling deadline (Aug 3) has passed, so your appointment is locked in — now it's about logistics. Log into your candidate portal to reconfirm your exact date, time, and test-center address, and make sure the first and last name on your travel ID (passport for most centers) exactly matches your registration. Arrive 30–60 minutes early, bring your approved calculator (BA II Plus or HP 12C), and leave prohibited items in the car or locker.

Results won't be instant: CFA Institute releases scores 5–9 weeks after the window closes, so August candidates should expect emails and portal results around late September into mid-October. Watch your inbox and the results page.

If you recently sat a CPA Core section (AUD, FAR, or REG), the next target score release is August 26, 2026 for exams whose data reaches the AICPA by August 15 — so if you tested in early-to-mid August, this is your window. The following Core cutoff is September 7 (scores targeted September 16). For the Discipline sections (BAR, ISC, TCP), candidates who tested in the July 1–31 window have a target release of September 11.

Remember that scores post to the NASBA candidate portal up to 48 hours after the AICPA sends them, so don't panic if they're not visible the moment the date hits.

Early registration for the November 2026 FRM exam ended July 31, so GARP is now in its standard registration window, which stays open until September 30, 2026. Standard pricing is USD $800 for Part I (exam window November 14–20) and USD $800 for Part II (November 21–25); first-time candidates also pay the one-time USD $400 enrollment fee. Don't wait for the September 30 cutoff — register soon to secure your preferred date and test center, since popular slots fill first and reschedule fees apply later.

Who is eligible for the CTP?

The CTP is aimed at treasury and finance professionals, and eligibility is based on relevant work experience or a combination of education and experience. Check AFP's eligibility criteria to confirm which route applies to you before you apply.

How the exam works

The CTP is a computer-based, multiple-choice exam covering corporate treasury, cash and liquidity management, working capital, capital markets and funding, and financial risk. You sit it at a test centre or via online proctoring within your chosen testing window, and you book your appointment once your application is approved.

Prep plan

• Work from the current Essentials of Treasury Management as your core text.
• Practise multiple-choice questions under timed conditions to build recall and speed.
• Apply early, by 23 September, to lock in the lower fee and give yourself a full study runway to the December-January window.

You can start practising free treasury and finance questions on Professional Career Club right now, with instant feedback and no signup needed.

Dates and fees are shown as published by AFP and can change; confirm the details for your application on the AFP CTP site before you pay.
