Thank you for your patience over the last few months. The safety of CPC candidates and staff has been a paramount concern during the coronavirus outbreak and we took the decision not to run the June 2020 CPC series.
Based on your feedback, we ran CPC tests in September 2020 and plan to run tests in December 2020.
