Important information for EQE Candidates
IPKat has heard from Katfriends that some EQE candidates in the UK have discovered only this week that their exam location is Munich, not Walsall. The candidates were not sent any specific notification, and noticed it only on logging into the My EQE portal to view a new letter about seat numbering – which plenty of candidates might ignore. If you are sitting EQEs in March, make sure you log in to check your venue details!
