This payment is effectively your confirmation that you wish to sit the exam, and will generate an exam entry specific to you as a candidate. Therefore do not pay if you think that there is any possibility that you may not wish to sit the exam when the date arrives, as you will not be refunded if you change your mind. 

You will receive a separate email three days before the exam which will confirm your final exam arrangements. If you do not receive this email please contact [email protected] immediately.

Please note that no refunds are available for an exam not attempted. If there are serious mitigating circumstances that prevent a candidate attempting an exam, these would have to be supported by medical evidence in order for a fee deferral to be authorised by NCTJ, which could be used for a subsequent attempt at the missed exam.

There is a minimum number of candidates required for each exam sitting to ensure exams are viable. Your payment receipt is not a guarantee that the exam will run.  You will be issued a full refund if the university has to cancel the NCTJ exam due to low candidate take-up.
