Test Dates & Arrangements

IMPORTANT: Candidates are advised to book their assessment as early as possible and should note that all assessment places may be filled some time before the booking deadline.

Travel and accommodation

Candidates are responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements. Please ensure that these are in place prior to the assessment, taking into account the assessment date and registration time.

There is a restricted amount of storage space available at assessment centres. Candidates are requested to bring no more than one small bag to the assessment centre.

Candidates who arrive late for an assessment will not, under any circumstances, be permitted to take the assessment.
