Institute update
The CII have announced that the majority of their exams will now be via 'Remote Invigilation' or can be sat online at one of their centres.
Written exams will be delivered by on-screen examination at physical exam centres. You must bring a mask, unless you have a condition that means you are exempt from wearing one.
CII exam centres, which are deemed to provide an essential service throughout the UK, are remaining open during the latest lockdown.
CII state that safety precautions are in place at exam centres and these will be strictly enforced.
If you are booked to sit an exam at a centre and want to change this to a remotely invigilated exam or move the date of an MCQ exam, please log-in to MyCII Dashboard to amend your booking.
CII apprentices are now able to sit multiple-choice question (MCQ) exams, via ‘Remote Invigilation’ or at an exam centre.
We recommend apprentices check the Coronavirus update page regularly as well.
To book an exam, learners have to call the CII. The CII phone number is 0208 989 8464 from which you can reach their contact centre support who can book exams for you and provide any up to date advice.

End Point Assessments
I was due to sit my End Point Assessment (EPA) in the next few months, what do the exam cancellations mean for my Apprenticeship?
Most of the End Point Assessment Organisations (EPAOs) are taking a pragmatic and supportive approach. If your Gateway Review is put back, the EPAO can look to extend the period of time for EPA. Please discuss this with your Talent Coach.
