In light of the recent coronavirus outbreak, the NCTJ is committed to ensuring the safety of its stakeholders.

Our current guidance for those scheduled to attend an NCTJ exam, event or meeting is as follows:

If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or have visited a category 1 country/area within 14 days of the exam, event or meeting, we respectfully ask you to not travel and remain home.

Candidates sitting exams with the NCTJ who are unable to travel for the reasons stated should contact the NCTJ to arrange a deferral.

Candidates sitting exams on course at a centre should contact their centre directly if they are unable to travel for the reasons stated.

We will continue to work closely with our accredited course providers, exam centres and events and training venues and will provide further guidance on alternative arrangements should they be required.

In the meantime, the NCTJ will operate as usual.
