Exam Access Arrangements for Private Candidates
Eligible candidates can access reasonable adjustments such as extra time or a separate room. We provide guidance and provision in line with JCQ requirements, so that your assessment reflects your ability rather than a barrier.
How it works
Reasonable Adjustments, Handled Correctly
Access arrangements must reflect a candidate's normal way of working and be supported by the appropriate evidence. We guide you on what may be available, what evidence is needed, and how arrangements are put in place for your exams with us.
Arrangements are made in line with the Joint Council for Qualifications requirements, so they are valid and properly recorded.
