On the Day of Your Exam

• Please aim to arrive in good time for the examination - we would suggest at least 15 minutes before it is due to start
• There are several time-slots allocated for each day. If you would like to specify a certain time of day for your exam(s), please state this in the space provided on the application form or on your covering email or letter
• Please bring a BLUE OR BLACK pen for writing your answers (scripts in pencil or other coloured inks cannot be accepted, although of course you can draft things in pencil first)
• No calculations will be necessary, so calculators are not required
• For the Practitioner Examination, you may use any personal notes, books and the M_o_R Guidance for Practitioners book (you will need to bring your own copy of the book, see Recommended Reading). No electronic media, eg: on a laptop, is permitted in the examination.

Important Message to All Candidates

If you are thinking of taking a training course we strongly recommend that any training you receive is through an Accredited Training Organisation (ATO).

Only ATOs and their affiliates have licences to offer training courses that incorporate official OGC trademarks, brands and copyright material.

These ATOs have been fully accredited by the APM Group, who are the official accreditor on behalf of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC). The accreditation process involves a rigorous assessment of the organisation's management systems, course materials and trainers, assuring the quality of training provided.

Organisations offering training who do not appear on the above list, or are not affiliated to an ATO, may be in breach of copyright law. Please do not support illegal use of copyright material.
