The case study exam under the 2003 curriculum is open book format and intervention based, covering at least 2 different Environmental Health intervention groups, i.e. Food, Health and Safety, Environmental Protection, Housing and Public Health.
It is usual for examinations to start at 10.00 a.m. The examination is in two parts:
Part 1 - 10 a.m. to 12 noon – is the ‘reading and preparation’ phase. This is the time for you to study the case file and any other appropriate materials and to make any notes that you feel will assist you in the afternoon session of the exam.
Part 2 - 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. – is the ‘actual examination’ phase. At the start of this phase you will be provided with information on the tasks you will be required to complete and also with your examination answer book(s) and any other material which may be appropriate.
