By accessing or using the Global Bible Examination Council website and examination services ("Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our Services. GBEC reserves the right to update these terms at any time, and continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of any revised terms.

2. Eligibility

GBEC examination services are open to ministers, pastors, evangelists, chaplains, Bible school students, and any Christian believer committed to advancing their Biblical knowledge. By registering, you confirm that all information provided is accurate, complete, and truthful. Providing false information may result in disqualification and cancellation of any issued qualifications.

All candidates are required to:

  • Complete examinations independently and without unauthorized assistance
  • Not share, reproduce, or distribute examination questions or content
  • Not attempt to circumvent or manipulate the CBT examination system

Violation of examination conduct rules will result in immediate disqualification, cancellation of results, and may result in a permanent ban from GBEC services.

4. Fees and Payments

All examination fees must be paid in full before a candidate may sit an examination. Pre-Exam Fees are non-refundable once an examination session has been started.
