IIBF Forex Operations (CCFE) Exam Pattern
One online paper is the whole exam; there is no training stage. Here is exactly how it is scored.
The CCFE is a single online remote-proctored exam: 100 MCQs for 100 marks in 2 hours, in English, with no negative marking. A minimum of 50 out of 100 passes. Unlike IIBF's blended courses, there is no classroom-training component; the online paper is the whole exam, and the digital certificate follows a pass directly.
