^ CPA Australia endeavours to provide exam appointments on as many days as possible across the exam period. Each semester, they work closely with their exam delivery partner to identify any events that may impact the delivery of exams. This includes considering national holidays across all markets, reviewing individual test centre availability across the exam period, and working around any planned system outages or updates.
The exam delivery partner has notified CPA Australia that they will be undertaking system maintenance between Saturday 12 October and Monday 14 October, which will limit some functions on their website during this time. This maintenance will, in turn, limit CPA Australia's ability to deliver exams from Saturday 12 October.
CPA Australia has worked closely with the exam delivery partner to ensure appointments are available for scheduling across the remaining exam window.
