Hi @Jessica Booker,

I was just wondering whether you could help with a query - I was offered an AC for the 15th March at the same time I have my final LPC assessment for the term which is a 24-hour take home exam. I have since emailed and ask if they are running AC's on any other days and whether I would be able to switch to one of these if so. They have responded saying I can switch to the one on Friday 17th but have noted this would be for the London / Bermuda TC and so the Q&A part of the day will differ but the rest will remain the same.

My main worry is that it could be detrimental that I am not being assessed in the same session as those candidates applying for the same TC (the direct London one) - do you think this would have any impact on how am I assessed?

Thanks

I don't think this will be an issue.
