Deferring your assessment

You can defer your assessment twice in total, so if you register for May 2020** and don’t feel ready, the last time you can take your assessment on that registration is May 2019. You can defer at any time leading up to your assessment. The more notice you give the LI the better, so your place can be allocated to someone else who wants to take the assessment. There is a deferral deadline 6 weeks before the assessment. After this time you will be charged a £110 admin fee for deferring. This will only be waived if you can produce a doctor’s note or similar to explain why you need to defer with such short notice.
