Autumn 2023 Examination Dates

Applications for the Autumn 2023 examination session will open in the last week of May and close Friday 7 July. The withdrawal deadline (full refund of fee without extenuating circumstances) is Friday 21 July (please note this deadline does not apply in circumstances beyond your control such as illness, travel restrictions). Part 2 examinations have resumed to being offline, Part 1 examinations are conducted online via Testreach.  Examination entries will be confirmed by Monday 31st July.

The examination period will be from Monday 25 September to Friday 3 November. Results will be issued on Friday 24th November.

Whilst we aim to have all examination dates finalised ahead of the closing deadline, for some examinations this will be dependent on the number of candidates and so the dates for these may only be finalised after the application closing date. Once known, dates will be published below.
