You have 5 years to pass everything May 31, 2013

If you take the exam this year for the first time, all units, and fail some of them, you have 5 years to re-take only the ones you failed.

I know the answer comes late, but I thought that I would explain it for those who didn't understand this 5 year thing.

Is there anybody else out there? I would be especially interested in those who have done the DPSI in my language pair (Spanish/English) although my question applies to all those who have studied for and subsequently taken the DPSI examination.
I do practise by listening to speeches in Spanish on the tv and interpreting what I have heard, and that is going well.
Any other tips or comments are welcome.
Have a good Sunday!


I am doing (Spanish/English) too,but I am doing Healthcare

DPSI preparation Aug 6, 2019

hi,

I am thinking to do the DPSI exam on November or maybe June next year. I know there is five different pathways to choose from, but my question is if I choose one of them ( I'm thinking of local government) is that means I will only work in this pathway? I mean I can't understand what privilege I will have if I choose local government (for instance) than all the other pathways...

also if anyone can help me with any websites link or any study material to help me prepare and practice for the exam, that would be appreciated. ▲ Collapse
