LPE update

Letters have gone out by email with invitations to take the exam.  The exam will take place on 19 October at 2pm and will end at approximately 6.30pm  You should arrive at least 30 minutes before the start to register.

Bring along black or blue pens, pencils (number 2) and eraser.  I also suggest bringing along a pencil sharpener, a ruler, white out or other pen eraser equipment.

The written part of the exam cannot be changed.  On the same letter you will have a date and time for your oral exam.  This can be changed if necessary.  Contact the examiner if you are on mission or have another appointment at the same time.
