Pearson has signed an agreement to transfer LCCI qualifications to The Institute of Accountants and Bookkeepers (IAB) as of 1/10/2023. Epiteugma Training Center is officially registered with IAB.
To register for an LCCI exam, please read the below bullet points A to D and then steps 1 to 8.
- If you have any questions you should contact us from the contact form here, as all requests must be in written format. We do not reply to any LCCI related matter over the phone.
- For LCCI past papers & solutions download this Microsoft Word file and follow the instructions in it. The available papers are only those mentioned in the Microsoft Word file, thus do not inquire from us any other papers. All past papers are valid for IAB LCCI exams.
- To view the LCCI syllabus for all subjects click on each level (the syllabus has not changed with the transfer from Pearson to IAB): Level 1, Level 2, Level 3
- Below you may find various useful exam related information:
— All IAB LCCI exams are computer-based over the Internet.
— Epiteugma is equipped with computers, which will be used to take the LCCI examinations. Candidates will NOT need to bring their own laptops.
— After the registration period is over (see step 2 of the registration procedure), candidates will be submitted to IAB, candidates online accounts will be created by IAB, and finally from these accounts candidates will have access to the exam style sample questions. Do not email us or call us about this, as when the accounts are created, we will notify you.
— When you receive your IAB account password from us, follow these steps in order to access the sample exam questions:
Using each candidate’s email address provided upon registration AND the password sent from our system, login on https://etc.iabportal.com (do NOT click on Create an Account, click on LOGIN) > note that the FIRST time you login, you may change your password if you wish, but make sure you remember it! > click on ‘My Courses’ > find the course you registered in and click on the button ‘Click to learn’ > click on the button ‘Multiple Choice Test’ or ‘Retry/Restart Assessment’ > at the end of the instructions put a tick on ‘I’ve read the information above and I’m ready to begin the assessment’ > click on the button ‘Start Assessment Now’ > click on the button ‘Continue’ > the sample questions will appear, which you may start answering.
— In case you have any problems with the above steps or you cannot see the sample exam questions, please refer to bullet point “A” at the top of this page. Note that these steps will probably be the same on the day of the actual LCCI exam.
— The sample exam questions are available until the night before of the exams. On the day of the exam, do NOT login into your account to do the sample exam questions, as if you do that, the system might not allow you to login on the actual exam when you come to EPITEUGMA.
— LCCI instructors are NOT given account access by IAB, but instructors may ask one of their students for their login credentials in order to be able to see the sample questions.
— The possible categories of exam questions are the following:
Multiple choice – select a single correct response
Multiple response – select all correct responses
Insert values – write the correct answer, often from your own calculations (when writing decimal amounts use a dot)
Match items – link related items, definitions, etc
Fill in blanks – insert/select the correct words in the spaces provided
Drag and drop – move the appropriate word or number into the spaces indicated

No working out should be included in response boxes, only the final numerical answers
