ICAEW seem to be able to plan exams for the pandemic! Its Advanced Level exams are taking place as we speak – 2 to 4 November. Just before the month-long lockdown.

And, the next ICAEW Professional Level centre and remote invigilation exams are due to take place between 7 to 9 December. That is exactly when the PM Boris Johnson says the country will be open again…

We were even sent a recent tweet on the matter, which read: “We’ve heard #uklockdown from Mon, Wed, now Thur after ICAEW exams finish on Wed. If so urgent why the delay? Is it a coincidence that ICAEW’s exec director of learning and prof development & 2 other directors are Oxford Alumni?? ICAEW silent yet again, No transparency.”
