Guidance for Covid-19

All centres must ensure that they comply with any guidance or instructions from national and local governments and healthcare authorities in places where they are running the Pretests. The information provided for exam centres on our support site has a range of suggestions for ways to run our exams in line with social distancing measures. You may want to use this guidance and adapt it to suit Pretesting and any additional measures mandated by the authorities in your country/region. We understand that some centres cannot run Pretesting sessions yet due to schools being closed as a result of a national or local lockdown.
