ENTERING FOR EXAMS

Once an entry request has been received, we will confirm receipt and the examinations team will review the application. Entries are confirmed following verification of subject availability, examination requirements and any associated fees.

For subjects that are less commonly requested, The Bridge Alternative Provision reserves the right to accept entries only where a minimum of five candidates have requested entry for the same qualification and examination series.

Candidates are encouraged to submit their entry requests as early as possible.
