2.1. Formalities and conditions for registration and enrolment

Overview

2.1. Formalities and conditions for registration and enrolment

The Examination Secretariat decides on the registration and enrolment of candidates in accordance with the REE and the IPREE (Art. 9(2)(c) REE).

In D 4/08 the board confirmed the Examination Secretariat's strict application of the published closing date for enrolment for the EQE (Art. 20 REE 1994; see Art. 18 REE), stressing its importance for the timely and orderly preparation of the examination. According to D 7/08, it followed from the applicable provisions that it was the candidate's responsibility to file the complete application, including the enrolment form and all necessary supporting evidence, by the closing date (see also D 12/08, D 15/09, D 3/18, D 4/18, and R. 1(2) IPREE).
