Once we have had these back and logged the data into our system, the papers will then go to the Qualifications and Awards Board (QAB) for ratification at the December board.
The ratification board will take place in December and then examination results will be emailed only, to delegates by the 14 December 2020. Award Certificates will be sent out February 2021.

CPCF Training and Examinations - separate entities
CTSI emphasise that CPCF training and examinations are two separate entities. Training and examinations are not available as a package - they are booked and paid for separately. Deferral of examinations will not defer any element of training including revision days.
Unit training notes are available for revision purposes until all unit examinations have been completed. If spaces are available on revision days, in preparation for the next exam cycle, deferral and resit delegates will be able to book these separately for a one-day training fee.
