The CUA examination

  • If you do not pass the exam, you can retake it within six months at no extra cost.
  • The CUA exam is designed to gauge knowledge and skills, and not to be a final exam of the CUA courses. Most questions are covered in the courses, and some questions test the ability to apply methodologies and tools to common design challenges.
