Emailing IFoA exam results

31 October 2024

To ensure candidates receive their September 2024 and future exam results as quickly and easily as possible, all candidates’ results will be shared directly by email on their results release day.

With previous IFoA exam results releases affected by technical issues that resulted in candidates having difficulty accessing their results, we have made several changes to our systems and processes to ensure candidates don’t experience delays in future.

We have listened to candidates’ feedback about how candidates prefer to receive exam results and as a result, we will now share candidates’ exam results directly by email, as well as on our member portal.

September 2024 exam results

To ensure candidates receive their September 2024 and future exam results as quickly and easily as possible, all candidates’ results will be shared directly by email on their results release day.

Candidates who have sat CS, CM and CB exams will receive those results by email on 3 December and CP, SP and SA exam results by email on 5 December.

  • Candidates will receive one email including the results of all the exams that are released on that day (3 December and 5 December).
  • We will send exam results to the address that candidates have registered on their IFoA member portal.
  • We will be sending exam results emails in stages from 17:30 (UK time) on your exam results release day. Please don’t worry if you haven’t received your results email by 18:00 (UK time), you should receive it shortly afterwards.
  • If you are expecting to receive exam results in December, please check that the email address you have registered in your IFoA member portal is up to date. If you need to update your email address, please make sure you have made any changes before 17:00 (UK time) on 25 November.
  • The email address on your member portal will be uploaded onto our exam emailer system just after 17:00 (UK time) on 25 November, so any changes made after this time will not be captured in our email send data.
  • Please also add the following email address to your safe senders list: alerts@onlinepracticalexams.org.uk as this will be the email address that your results are sent from

For future reference, and for candidates who prefer to access their exam results in PDF format, you will be able to download a PDF from the member portal from 18:00 UK time, on the relevant exam results release day.

We believe these changes will mean that candidates can access their September 2024 exam results quickly and conveniently, in a way that works best for them.
