58. September 2022 ORE Part 2 Booking Opening

Following our announcement on 22 February 2022 that the ORE would fully resume this year, we can confirm that the next Part 2 sitting will be held from 15 – 18 September 2022.

The Examinations Team are beginning the process of identifying candidates whose statutory five-year limit has expired and priority candidates (those at the end of their statutory five-year limit or remain booked to the cancelled April 2020 exam) over the coming week. Following the conclusion of this process, on Thursday 14 July 2022 at 14:30 we will open the booking for the ORE Part 2 September 2022 examination (to be held from 15 – 18 September 2022) for 105 places.

We would like to remind candidates that all bookings must be made through eGDC, and we ask that you check that candidates have log-in details for their eGDC account and that they can log in before the booking day.

Why we prioritise some candidates for exam places and what this means for you now

The legislation that governs the ORE includes a strict requirement that the Part 2 exam must be passed within five years of first attempting the Part 1. To ensure candidates have a fair opportunity to sit the exams before this expires, we prioritise those in their final year of the time limit.

We will write to candidates again before Thursday 14 July and confirm the booking process together with the number of places available.
