Calendar of examination sessions
Any changes to the date and time of the examinations and any organisational changes are published on the ETPI website or communicated personally at the request of the person concerned.
Please note that examination preparation material can be found under learning materials.
The sport fishing licence examination consists of a written test, in the form of a quiz, with multiple-choice answers, and a possible interview, on the subjects listed under examination subject matters. The examination takes place in a public session before a Commission appointed by decree by the Director General of ETPI. The written test, lasting a maximum of sixty minutes, consists of a combination of forty questions, different for each candidate. Each question corresponds to three alternative answers, only one of which is correct. The questions are divided as follows:
Each correct answer is awarded two points; each incorrect answer is awarded zero points; each non-answer subtracts one point. The pass mark is achieved when seventy points are reached. Candidates scoring between sixty-two and sixty-nine points are admitted to an interview, lasting a maximum of fifteen minutes, to be held, if possible, on the same day as the written test. The candidate passes the interview if he/she demonstrates sufficient competence, in the opinion of the Commission, in the subjects being examined.
The Examination Committee decides if each examined candidate has passed or failed the examination. The result is communicated to the candidate at the end of the test.
Sports clubs, associations and voluntary organisations on the list referred to in article 17(2) of Regional Law no. 42 of 1 December 2017 may organise preparatory courses for passing the examination. Participation in these courses awards six bonus points.
For the identification of the minimum criteria for the organisation of these courses and for further details, please refer to articles 5 and 6 of the Regulation on “Modalities for the issuance of the documents provided for the exercise of sport fishing in inland waters, in implementation of article 27 of Regional Law no. 42 of 1 December 2017 (Regional provisions for the management of fish resources in inland waters)' approved by Reg. Pres. Decree no.19 of 22/02/2021.
