How long do I have to complete an Evaluation?

Question

Accepted Answer

For Evaluation accounts issued on or after 1 November 2026, each issued stage has 90 calendar days to meet all passing requirements. The 1-Step Qualifier has one period; the 2-Step Qualifier and Validator each have their own period.

1-Step Qualifier

The 90-day period starts when the Qualifier is issued. Reaching the 10% target does not restart the clock; every applicable passing requirement must be met within the permitted period.

2-Step Qualifier and Validator

The Qualifier has 90 calendar days from its issue date. After successful progression, the Validator receives a fresh 90-calendar-day period from its own issue date. The two stages do not share one 90-day window.

Inactivity is separate

An account may close after 30 consecutive days of inactivity. This is a separate condition from the 90-day period for meeting evaluation objectives.
