• Access arrangements (separate accommodation/reader/scribe) can be discussed, please provide details and evidence. There may be an extra cost if, for example, separate invigilation is required.
• No subject tuition is provided, but we may suggest tutors.

Please be aware that we are unable to offer practical assessments or examinations, including subjects such as A Level Sciences, Art and Drama.  We can facilitate re-sits only if the practical components can be carried forwardfrom a previous series.  Please note that the availability of this option depends on the specific exam board and requirements of the qualification specification. 

It is essential that for re-sits we have the candidate's unique canididate identifer (UCI) number to ensure the records are linked. This can be found on copies of certificates, results statements or obtained from a previous school or examination centre.
