Certified registerQuestions
Is this the official Saudi Aramco test?
No. It is a free practice exam that follows the topics of the Saudi Aramco scaffold certificates under GI 8.001 and CSM II-2, so you can prepare. Saudi Aramco certification comes only through Saudi Aramco or an approved institution. An AL-YASSIN certificate confirms knowledge; it is not an authorisation to work.
How many questions, and how long?
50 questions in 50 minutes, one sitting, drawn fresh from a bank of 873 questions. The pass mark is 85%.
What does it cost?
Sitting the exam, seeing your score and getting the certificate when you pass are free. A full review that shows every mistake with the right answer and the reference costs USD 100 (15 days of access).
What language are the questions in?
English, like the Saudi Aramco documents the exam follows. Role exams allow a non-programmable or scientific calculator; all data you need is in the question.
How long is the certificate valid?
One year. Renew it free by passing the exam again. Anyone can check a certificate by its number or QR code at alyassinscaffold.com/verify.
