Distinctions sittings

In view of the continuing deterioration in pandemic conditions it has been decided that a “physical” distinction sitting is not a prospect for the foreseeable future, i.e. at any time before the end of 2020 and most likely into mid-2021, if even then.

Instead, we are proceeding to arrange an online assessment session, firstly to deal with the applications that were received for the May 2020 sitting and, following that, to invite applications for a sitting in the first quarter of 2021.

The applicants for the May 2020 sitting will be given the option of being assessed online or of deferring until a later date.

We are in the process of devising a protocol and procedures for the online session and once this is done all current applicants will be emailed to inform them of what will be required and, of course, to obtain their agreement to be assessed online.
