Exemptions For Applicants Who Are Holders Of KASNEB Qualifications
• All similar and common papers in the diploma and professional exams will be granted exemptions.
• Diploma examination graduates who are beyond Part I of the professional exams will not be granted exemptions.
• No exemptions will be granted in the CAMS qualification.
• In granting these exemptions, there will be a consideration to the core areas of the applicant’s expertise. For example, a graduate of CPA is deemed proficient in accounting, thus, would be granted exemptions in accounting papers within other KASNEB professional examinations.
Exemptions For Applicants Who Hold Qualifications From Universities, As Well As Other Examination Bodies
Candidates who are holders of diplomas and degrees from recognized institutions of higher learning, universities, and other examination bodies may be granted exemptions.
Under this category, applicants who wish to qualify for exemptions must present proof of sufficient coverage of the content of the paper/s on their exemption application. However, with the exemption of graduates of KASNEB examinations, candidates in Part III of the professional examinations will not be granted exemptions.
Procedure for Exemptions
Applicants seeking to be granted exemptions should complete the pertinent application forms for the exemptions, in addition to paying the approved exemption fees. Applications for exemption should be submitted along with the applicable supporting documents. (Go to the KASNEB website for more on the exemption policy.) Important to note: a candidate who has been exempted won’t be allowed to sit for the exempted paper; this can only be possible with prior authority from the CEO of KASNEB. Candidates who are found guilty of flouting this particular rule will automatically forfeit their exemptions.
