For me, open book presents the greatest risk. It enables training providers to provide thinly veiled exam answers in the form of student notes and course exercises. For as long as the exam format remains, those risks need to be minimised. Whilst I agree entirely with your views on competence-based testing, I shudder to think how that could be abused in the hands of some providers My main issue at the moment is with the potential for fraud and false results.

Or examinations in general really, although I've taken enough of them in my time. I tended to revise to pass the exam, analysing past papers, breaking down likely questions into step-by-step guides to lead to a likely solution, etc. I'm much more in favour of competence based assessments, where you would be examined on planning, organising, conducting then following-up on an audit. That's the way I learned, by doing loads and loads of audits. I’ve never boon a fan of open book examinations. Or examinations in general really, although I’ve taken enough of them in my time.
