COVID Update Victoria and Auckland

In light of the Stage 4 COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria and the Alert Level 3 COVID-19 restrictions in Auckland, our venue provider for the Essay-style Examinations are cancelling all scheduled bookings for these locations while the current level of restrictions apply.

We anticipate that the exams scheduled for 24 February will go ahead if restrictions are eased sufficiently. Further communications will be made with affected candidates as the situation changes. The possibility of alternate solutions is presently being considered by the college with the safety of all members remaining paramount.
