Correspondence Course Structure
The student has six months in which to complete their studies and to write the Proctored, closed book exam. Most students complete the course within

three to four months. Students taking longer than six months to complete the course may pay an extension fee of $150 plus GST to extend the period a further three months.
The Proctor. Once the student is ready to write the exam they identify someone who is willing to act as their Proctor during the exam. The Proctor is any person who is not an immediate family member or work subordinate and who will understand and respect the exam process. The student obtains the name, address and telephone number of their Proctor and forwards these details to sr@certifiedsenioradvisors.ca
at least two weeks prior to the date they have arranged to write their exam.
The Exam package is forwarded, together with instructions direct to the
Proctor. The exam is 130 – 150 multiple choice questions. The student has 3 hours in which to complete the exam and hand it to the Proctor to be sealed in the return addressed envelope which is forwarded to the Canadian
Academy of Senior Advisors for marking by an independent marker.
Students must score 75% or higher to pass the exam and obtain their CSA designation.
The Interview. Correspondence students are required to conduct a professional interview with a senior, who is either a current client, or a prospective client. The purpose of the interview is to establish what the senior’s unique needs, wants and expectations are, and how they wish the professionals serving them to respond to these unique needs. Summarize the information in a one page report and provide the report to the Proctor to submit with the exam. Sign-Up today.
