Practical Session 2 2020 Update – Greece
We appreciate how much the cancellation of our exams has affected learners and we’re working hard on solutions to ensure they can gain their qualifications at the earliest opportunity.
However, on the basis of official UK Government advice, due to Covid-19, ABRSM has made the decision to cancel all Practical Exams in Greece until further notice. This decision affects all 2020 Practical Exams, ARSM and Diplomas. We will process refunds for all existing exam bookings and our Representative will provide further detailed guidance on this process directly with applicants.
We are sorry for the impact on teachers and candidates and thank you for your loyalty and support while these restrictions remain in place. We are continuing to review when live Practical and Music Theory exams can resume in Greece and will offer them again at the earliest possible opportunity.
