Exam Preparation
For the CPRE Advanced Levels, the corresponding syllabus is an important guide and starting point in your preparation for the certification. Depending on your area of specialisation in RE, each Advanced Level has its own syllabus, which can be found here.
Further helpful artefacts provided by the IREB are the handbooks for the CPRE Advanced Levels. These are valuable resources for trainers, trainees, and practitioners alike, who are interested in getting a detailed insight to the specific Advanced Level. Although each handbook offers substantive information, it is not a replacement for a dedicated training course.
The IREB CPRE Glossary (applicable to all levels) ⤴ provides an overview of terms used throughout the syllabus, examination and literature.
Finally, the IREB kindly provides a practice exam for each Advanced Level in the same form, structure, and style of the actual examination, including solutions and correction aids to further advance your preparation. Please choose according to your specialisation in RE:
