4. A web camera is required to take part and will need to be able to be used to show the area where the exam is taking place
5. If the connection is lost to a delegate, reconnection needs to be achieved as quickly as possible (support telephone numbers will be available).
6. If lost connection accounts for more than 10 minutes of any exam then it will be deemed a failure and need to be retaken

8. You are allowed a calculator and one blank bit of paper to use during the exam for any working out you need to do. This would need to be shown prior to the exam
9. If at any time a delegate is seen to deviate from any of the above or is deemed to be “cheating” in relation to the exam, they will be given two warnings by the invigilator; should the delegate deviate in the same manner again, it will be considered as a failed exam.
