If you are used to booking online and getting your exam time within 24 hours please note the points below.
Please be sure that all exam details are correct and that candidates and accompanists can be available at any time on your chosen day to attend the exam at the venue you have selected. You will be allocated the next available time slot on this day, which is likely to be between 9am and 5pm but could be after this time. Exam times and other exam details cannot be changed after your booking has been made or at the point of receiving your appointment details.
Please note, if you cancel an exam within the 14 day cooling off period, including cancelling in order to book at different date, venue, instrument or grade, in accordance with applicable consumer laws, we will retain a sum of £15 from the entry fee to reflect the work undertaken by us up to the point of cancellation.
