Anyone know where can sit ABC cert in arb exams?

[APC]

Can't seem to find anyone who will allow me to sit the exams as an external candidate. It's getting close to the deadline for the end of the course so kind of need to get it sorted!

 

Preferably down south by the way.

Also note that each assessment centre requires x weeks notice of your intention to sit the exam on the dates in June/December. For example, Easton College (Norwich) wants 6 weeks notice.

Just had a grim thought. The course is "live" until end of December this year. Expected time to do the course is around 12-18months. Will ABC still do exam papers for it in a years time? Think i may have made a duff choice.

Yes, apparently we can still sit the exams in their current format until the end of the certification date, which I think is Dec 2012..

Hiya,

 

Yeah, we have got til end of Dec 2012 to sit the exams, but we do have to be registered with a college as an external candidate before 31st Dec this year.

 

But just to let you know - I e-mailed ABC the other day and they said that I had to register with a college by the 10th, so that the college can let ABC know by the 15th, which must be the day ABC break up for Xmas.

 

I phoned Easton College, Norfolk today to register but the guy wasn't in til tomorrow, so don't know what's involved with registration - hopefully can get it done by the 10th!

I'm gonna ring Bicton tomorrow, cheers!!

Just rang Easton College, you have to register to do the old-style RFS cert by the end of the year or ABC won't let you do the exams, and pay up for your registration/exams/invigilation costs up front. Don't know about re-sits (although hoping I won't have to take any!), and then you need to let them know which exams you wish to sit about 6 weeks before the actual exam date.

 

Bloody good job this thread came up, or I'd have missed the deadline too!

What prices have people had for registering/sitting the exams?
