Special examination centres
Overseas candidates in areas other than those listed above may make an application to IRM to arrange a Special Centre. All Special Centre applications must be made on the appropriate form and submitted to the Institute by 28 February for the June examinations and by 31 July for the November examinations. A fee of £50 must also accompany the form. Where such arrangements are made, candidates are also required to pay any local supplementary charges made by the centre. You can download a copy of the form here: Special Centre Application Form
Special arrangements
Wherever possible, IRM will provide examination arrangements that take account of students' special needs. Students should submit any request for special arrangements by 28 February for the June examinations and by 31 July for the November examinations.. This is to enable the Institute to effectively assist with special arrangements. While the Institute aims to meet all such requests it cannot undertake to fulfil individual requirements where submissions are received late.
