March 2022 News
The following is for candidates who are sitting the Certificate (Module A) on Saturday 26 March 2022
26 March 2022
The exam has now closed.
What happens next? Our volunteers will review all questions / answers and moderate all the results. The exam team will review all the remote proctoring (invigilation) information and will communicate with any candidates where initial investigations cannot resolve the issues. Any initial queries which cannot be resolved will be referred to a specially formed subcommittee of Education & Professional Development Committee for further investigation. You will be informed of your grade when it is ready to be released – obviously this all will take some time. We will keep you up-to-date via emails and this news website.
