Remote Invigilation

All of our written examinations are delivered by remote invigilation instead of at a physical examination centre. This means that the exam can be taken anywhere in the world. The examination (structure, format and length) is the same, but instead of travelling to an examination centre and sitting the computer-based examination with other candidates, you do the same test as originally planned, but at your own computer.
