Once you've completed this course you can apply for the internationally recognised CIW Advanced HTML5 and CSS3 Specialist 1D0-620 Examination, which is currently £90.00 + VAT. Exams must be sat at a registered Prometric or Pearson VUE testing centre. The exam consists of 85 multiple choice/multiple answer questions.
