    • Examination: must close within six months of starting. Where the Examining Authority has published an anticipated close date, that date is used.
    • Recommendation: due to the Secretary of State within three months of the examination closing.
    • Decision: due within three months of the recommendation. The Secretary of State can extend this deadline by written statement to Parliament.
    • Pre-application submission dates are the applicant's own anticipated period, as published on the register.
