  Making Payment on the Test Date
  Should you decide to make payment on the test date itself, please be advised that it can be done at the SSC between 9 am to 2.30 pm latest as you will need to be ready for the test which starts at 3.00 pm. In the event that you arrive too late to make the payment, please proceed with the PPT first. Your payment should, however, be made at SSC immediately after you have completed the test.
• Candidates are advised to ensure that the email address entered is accurate because all correpondence on PPT including the results of the test will be sent via email.

For those who pass, the result will be valid for a period of two years. Passing the PPT is a requirement for entry to Specialisation in the teaching of Physical Education but it does not necessarily mean that your application for admission is successful. Admission to NIE is also dependent on other factors including meeting the entry requirements.
• Failure to sit for the PPT may jeopardise your application as NIE reserves the right not to conduct the test on alternative dates for those who miss the PPT on the scheduled test date.
