IBAO Education Updates
Keeping learning opportunities available for members and aspiring brokers through social distancing mandates and measures is top priority.
- All previously scheduled in-person courses are continuing in a virtual classroom using Zoom. This includes RIBO L1 Licensing and CAIB.
- All exams are postponed until further notice. This includes RIBO L1, RIBO L2 and CAIB.
- Given the gap between courses and exams, we’re hosting a free exam refresh course to all registered students for RIBO L1 and CAIB courses. Refresh courses will be scheduled once online or in-person exams have been put in place.
- Online courses will continue to run as usual, with exams postponed until further notice.
