Assessment of CAP1

Assessment at CAP1 comprises a blend of continuous assessment and traditional examinations.  An overall mark of 50% will be required to pass each paper (combination of continuous assessment and examination). 

The introduction of continuous assessment is in recognition of the fact that certain skills are better assessed outside the traditional end-of-year examination format. 

Candidates are advised to consult the relevant examinations publications for specific regulations governing the operation of continuous assessment and examinations.  In particular, students should note the requirement to pass the double-entry book-keeping continuous assessment prior to being permitted to sit any of the CAP1 examinations.

For 2017/2018, CAP1 assessment consists of the following:

Cost of CAP1 Exams 2019

CAP1 Summer & Autumn Main sitting exam fee per paper €90/£77
