If your exam policy allows scratch paper we will provide it. Please don’t bring with you any paper, pens or notes unless your exam vendor states otherwise.

Is there a space I can pray before my exam?

To avoid any disturbance please remain seated before, during and after your exam. A staff member will show you to a  room where you can take a moment of solitude if requested.

Can I remove my mask during the exam?

Yes, if you feel comfortable to do so you are welcome to remove your mask whilst seated. Please ensure to put it back on when you leave the room or interact with any staff member.

What happens if I am late for my exam?

If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will not be allowed to sit your exam and you will be responsible for rescheduling it. Any fees paid might be lost.

What happens if my identification is out of date, the name does not match, I have the wrong ID or I didn’t bring two forms of accepted identification when required?

In any such cases we are not able to admit you for your exam. There are no exceptions to this and failure to provide acceptable identification will result in no admission, you will forfeit your exam and your exam fees. Please check your Identification beforehand and DON’T schedule your exam if you are unable to produce correct identification.

Can my friend or relative wait for me in the centre while I sit the exam?

Unfortunately we must ask all participants to attend alone. Due to covid restrictions we ask any friends or relatives to stay in the car or take advantage of what the shopping centre has to offer while they wait. You can enjoy a coffee or a meal while you wait.
