Certificate candidates - we expect to issue results next week to all candidates who have paid their exam fees and where there are no remote invigilation issues. We expect to withhold some results pending further investigation.

Module B-D candidates - examiners are now marking the papers but this will take some time. We have no estimate of when results will be published at this time.

What are the next stages?

Certificate (Module A) candidates:

    • Our volunteers will review all questions / answers and moderate the results.
    • The exam team will review all the remote invigilation information and will communicate with any candidates where initial investigations cannot resolve the issues.
