Face to Face Assessment (Option 2) for LPC/LLM LPC Students:

Face-to-face assessments for all students (including Learning Support students) choosing this option are primarily run in BPP centres however some examinations, depending on the number of students, may need to be run from an external venue.

The location for each face-to-face exam will be confirmed on the HUB/VLE at least two weeks before the assessment.

If you are an LPC or LPC LLM student who chooses this option for your exams you must:

Make sure you map out the route to the venue and give yourself enough time to account for any transport delays
Aim to arrive approximately one hour before the scheduled start time for all assessments
Bring your BPP ID card to confirm your identity

Note that if you are more than 30 minutes late for your assessment you will not be permitted entry. This 30 minutes’ allowance should not be confused with the 60 minutes; allowance provided to students taking online exams: These students can login and start their exam up to 60 minutes after the scheduled start time

Please note this survey is not a final decision, you are able to amend your final choice on the survey until the specified deadline for the next assessment window. You will have an opportunity to amend your choice before each assessment window, of which there are 3 in the year. All deadlines can be found within the assessment survey.
