Please see below for an update from BOHS regarding exam sittings/registration of candidates:

CHANGES TO BOHS EXAM REGISTRATION

BOHS have informed us of a change to delegate registration. They are now rolling out direct candidate registration. This removes the requirement for Candidate Information Forms to be completed. Candidates are asked to set up an account with BOHS and can then manage their personal data, in line with UK legal requirements.

To sit the exam, candidates must register with BOHS via a link to obtain a student ID. This Student ID is required for the exam. Failure to do this will mean the exam cannot be taken. AEC will send this link as well as instructions direct to you for all candidates wishing to sit the exam 10 days before the course start date.

All classroom courses will now have a remote exam set up by BOHS. You will need to bring a tablet or laptop with you to complete the exam.
