The new process will include a second registration period. During this period, candidates can register or transfer if seats become available because of withdrawals or increased exam capacity.<\/p>\n<h5>Why is the process changing?<\/h5>\n<p>We heard from candidates that it can be time-consuming continually checking for an exam seat once registration is full. The new process gives candidates a specific time to check for available seats. This means candidates will no longer need to monitor registration throughout the day.<\/p>\n<h5>What You Need to Know<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">1. Two Registration Periods<\/h5>\n<p>There will now be two registration periods:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">First registration: Opens on a set date and time and closes when all exam locations are full.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">Second registration: Opens about 6\u20138 weeks before the exam. Candidates may register or transfer if seats become available because of withdrawals or increased capacity.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">2. Transfers<\/h5>\n<p>Candidates may transfer between exam locations only when registration is open. They may not transfer between registration periods.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">3. Withdrawal Fees<\/h5>\n<p>Withdrawal fees for the AFK, ACJ, and Virtual OSCE are also changing:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">Before the registration deadline, the withdrawal fee is 50% of the exam fee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">After the registration deadline, the withdrawal fee is 100% of the exam fee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">The fee for an approved withdrawal for medical or other unforeseen exceptional circumstance will not change.<\/p>\n<h5>When will this take effect?<\/h5>\n<p>The changes will take effect September 1, 2026. They will apply to future AFK, ACJ, and Virtual OSCE examinations.<\/p>\n<h5>Next Steps<\/h5>\n<p>Before registration opens, visit our website for exam dates, registration details, and updated policies.<br \/>\nFollow NDEB channels for important updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Changes to the Exam Registration Process We are changing the registration process for the Assessment of Fundamental Knowledge (AFK), Assessment of Clinical Judgement (ACJ), and Virtual OSCE.
