The ILE Exam Process:
                                    The CHAPA registrar will register you for the ILE with The International Hearing Society (IHS).
                                    IHS will contact you via email to choose your location, date and time to write the exam. (online payment required)
                                    Your exam result will be sent directly to the CHAPA registrar.
                                    The registrar will advise you of a pass/ fail only. Percentage scores will not be provided.

In the event of a failing grade, you may attempt the ILE exam one more time by repeating the registration process. If the second attempt results in a fail, successful completion of remedial training ( currently the IHS course) will be required before attempting a third time.

Once the ILE has been successfully completed, you may apply to take the Practical exam.

*Practical Exams are scheduled in one of two exam seasons. Spring: March, April and May. Fall: September, October and November.
