Common issues with exam applications
- Typing the email address incorrectly.
- Failing to sign your application(s). If you do not sign your application, your application will be denied.
- Leaving the job duties box and percentage blank.
- Missing a supervisor signature on job experience. If you are required to submit experience it must signed by your supervisor.
- Applications submitted late will be automatically denied and no refund will be given.
Location preference for examination is on a first come, first serve basis, therefore, emailing the application will get it to us much faster.
