This year the DBS exams will be held in the Ballsbridge Hotel, Pembroke Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
With the exam period now in full swing, we want to make sure all of our students have the information required. Here is all you need to know.
Important exam information for students:
1. Students are expected to be available for exams for the entire duration of the exam session.
2. Check the exam timetable carefully for each of your exams. Pay particular attention to the date, time and venue.
3. Mobile phones or electronic devices must be switched off and placed under your desk.
4. Unauthorised material such as study notes, etc are not allowed. Please ensure these are placed in your bag and left at the back of the room. If you are found with unauthorised material during the exam it will be confiscated and a sanction will be imposed.
5. Bring your student card - if you don’t have it, you will need to have another form of photographic ID.
6. You are not allowed to leave during the first 30 minutes of the exam, or the last 20 minutes.
7. Do not leave the exam hall without signing the attendance sheet.
