Examination registration and entry confirmation
You will need to register with us before you can take your examination. Once registered, we will send you an Examination Entry Confirmation, which includes your unique learner number and essential examination information and results process.
Your Examination Entry Confirmation is essential for you to gain entry to the examination room, and photographic identification will need to be shown to the exam invigilator, so make sure you bring either your driving licences or passport with you as proof.
Examination results
- Results for assessments taken in English should be received within 50-working days from your examination or assignment submission date. The specific date will appear on your examination entry confirmation. For assessments taken in other languages, all results should be received within 70-working days.
- Certificate level practical assessments must normally be taken within 10-working days of a written examination, so the practical result will be included with the result for the written examination.
