Guidance for Candidates Applying to Enter Examinations
March 2015
Introduction
Candidates are advised to read the information in this guidance document before completing the Application Form.
The guidance provides information on the application process and relevant timelines.
Completing the Application Form
Please complete all of the information required on the form. Please write clearly as the information provided will be
used by the IFE in order to communicate with you and to process your examination arrangements.
With reference to the timetable indicated, take care not to choose two units taking place at the same time. Exam
fees can be found on page 2 of the form. For Preferred Exam Centre, refer to the list on page 4 of the application.
The application form also contains information about where to send the form upon completion.
The IFE recommends that you retain a copy of your completed Application Form as the form includes a summary of
the examinations that you have entered and the times when the examinations will take place. It also includes the
Terms and Conditions for examination candidates.
Terms and Conditions for Candidates
You must read the Terms and Conditions prior to submitting your application form and tick the box on the form to
confirm your acceptance of these. The IFE is not able to accept applications without this confirmation from
candidates.
Payment of Examination Fees and Charges
If you are resident in South Africa or wish to enter the exams via the SA Branch, your application form and payment
should be sent to the SA Branch for processing before 30 November 2014. Payment must be made in South African
Rands.
The SA Branch will not accept any entries after 30 November 2014. Please contact the SA Branch as soon as possible
to avoid the risk of missing the deadline. Contact details for the SA Branch: Email: adminstaff@ife.org.za Tel: +27 11
788 4329. Fax: +27 11 880 6286. Website www.ife.org.za
No application will be processed unless it is accompanied by the appropriate fees. NB Foreign students: if you submit
payment by SWIFT transfer (which can take up to 5 working days to appear on a bank statement), then your
application will not be processed until payment has been received. Payment made in this manner must be received
before the final closing date of 30 November 2014. Moneygram or Western Union payments must be agreed in
advance by special arrangement with the South African Branch, and must be sent 3 working days before 30
November 2014.
If any payments are rejected, we will make contact to request an alternative method of payment. If no further
payment is received, the IFE will cancel the examination entry and no examination papers will be provided to the
examination venue.

Late Entries
Late entries cannot be processed by the South African Branch and must be referred to the IFE Head Office. The IFE
Head Office will endeavour to accept and process late applications, up to and including 22 January 2015. However, a
late entry fee of £50 (approx. R900) will be applied to all applications submitted after the closing date of 30
November 2014. Candidates who choose to submit an application to the IFE UK after the 30 November deadline are
agreeing to pay the late entry fee of £50, as well as the full fees charged by the Branch where the candidate will be
writing the exam. The applicant will be required to submit an 'international’ exam entry form available on the
website www.ife.org.uk and submit payment of the £50 late entry fee plus the full Branch fee in pounds sterling only,
to the IFE Head Office.
Please send a copy of your direct application to the IFE SA Branch at email: adminstaff@ife.org.za for our records.
Candidates should note that the IFE is not able to guarantee that candidate requirements submitted as late entries
can be met, as not all examination venues will be able to accommodate changes or additional candidates.

Examination Venues
For a list of provisional exam venues, please see page 4 of the examination application form. Enquire at the IFE SA if
you are uncertain. Please be aware that this list is not definitive as sometimes venues change due to unforeseen
circumstances or may not be able run, or may have a maximum capacity. Wherever this is the case we will
endeavour to inform those affected as promptly as possible. It may also be possible to place a candidate at a venue
that does not appear on the list; however this can sometimes lead to additional charges for the candidate/s.
Candidates should contact the IFE SA if they wish to discuss alternative venue options.
Applying for Reasonable Adjustments
Candidates who have disabilities or particular assessment needs such as dyslexia are able to apply for reasonable
adjustments. All requests should be submitted using the appropriate form. Please see the IFE website

What happens after I have applied?
If you have submitted your application directly to the IFE SA office, we will email you to confirm receipt. Once your
application has been processed we will send written acknowledgement approximately mid-December via email or
post detailing the examinations booked and the exam centre chosen. An important point to remember - during busy
times, entries can take some weeks to acknowledge. If in doubt, contact us by telephone or email.
If you receive any notification from the IFE that the application cannot be processed, please respond immediately.
If you do not contact us, you are at risk of not being entered for your requested examination.
Examination confirmation letters will be posted to all candidates along with information about the exam venue that
they have been allocated by mid-February 2015. We urge every candidate to read this letter carefully and to advise
us of any discrepancies immediately.
Candidates sitting examinations in SA neighbouring states will receive an emailed copy in additional to an original
posted one, due to possible postage delays.
Note to all candidates: If you have not received your posted letter by the end of February (not before), please
contact us and we will email a copy.
The IFE SA Branch office will be closed from 16 December 2014 to 7 January 2015 (re-opening on 8 January), so no
requests will be responded to until the second week of January 2015.
