EXAMS DELAYED
Unfortunately, due to the uncertainty around the restrictions currently in place and that may be in place, it will not be possible for us to hold the ISPE Student Exams in March 2021, as planned As many students will be busy with work after March, we are postponing the exams to September or even October 2021, and more details will be announced as time goes on. This will also apply to those students waiting to re-sit even single subjects. Obviously this is regrettable and ISPE apologise for the inconvenience as this is the first time we have had to postpone the March exams but we do not think many students will want to be in a room with maybe 40-50 others in March (even if this were allowed by then) with whatever Covid-secure measures could be included.
NEW ISPE COUNCIL MEMBER
