The Animal Medicines Training Regulatory Authority (AMTRA) has announced that all AMTRA/Harper Adams exams are now suspended until further notice.
The not-for-profit organisation said the decision has been made 'in view of the evolving situation, including movement restrictions and the uncertainty as to what the future holds in terms of Covid risk itself'.
The full notice reads: 'All AMTRA/Harper Adams exams are now suspended again until further notice. For the moment that means for the rest of 2020. We are exploring alternative means of assessing candidates.
'A number of Covid-secure exams took place from August to October and went well, but in view of the evolving situation, including movement restrictions and the uncertainty as to what the future holds in terms of Covid risk itself, and associated Government restrictions, exams have now been suspended.'
