#  UCAT 2020, COVID-19 and NIE Services Update

[icon-calendar] Posted: March 23, 2020

****COVID-19 UPDATE -**** At NIE, client safety, as well as our staff safety, is at most important. Therefore, during these difficult times, we will most likely conduct the face-to-face component of our workshops as Live Online Workshops. Please note that the content and quality of these workshops will not be compromised and students will gain the exact same benefits that they would from attending the face-2-face workshops. This policy will remain in place until further advice from the Australian government in relation to mass gatherings and the COVID-19 status in our communities.
