Essex Exam Centre actively encourages candidates to submit their entries on time in order to avoid incurring additional costs, and to allow us sufficient time to review the entry.
Candidates should be aware that Essex Exam Centre may refuse late and very late entries, for some qualifications, if there is a risk to the integrity and security of the examination or assessment in the processing of timely results.

For your convenience, an individual examination timetable will also be given to the candidate. If a candidate is registered for two examinations timetables for the same time on the same day, the candidate will take one examination after the other, with a short break in between and will be supervised by centre staff.
