What if I have an emergency and need to reschedule or cancel?

Modified on Thu, 30 May at 10:36 AM

IHRP will need to be notified in writing for any exceptional circumstances no later than seven (7) calendar days before the scheduled Assessment date. Such requests should be communicated via [email protected], stating candidate name (as per application), date of assessment and reason(s) for the exceptions.

Exceptional circumstances include:

  • Hospitalisation or medical certificates issued by registered hospitals or clinics under the Law of the Republic of Singapore (candidate or immediate family members (spouse, child or parent))
  • Bereavement due to the loss of a close family member
  • Police Reports for disabling accidents
  • Courts appearance
  • Unexpected National Service mobilisation
  • Unexpected overseas business travel
  • COVID-19 related reasons only applicable for on-site assessment (e.g. Quarantine Order, Stay-Home Notice, contact with suspected COVID-19 case.

Supporting documents must be provided as evidence for IHRP to review your circumstances.


IHRP may, at its discretion, approve a request to reschedule or cancel an Assessment for a candidate on a case-by-case basis. Relevant rescheduling or cancellation fees may apply.


* A candidate’s inability to take the IHRP Assessment due to work commitments or insufficient or inappropriate preparation will not be considered under exceptions.
