Official Exams Assist Training Partner
Exam Officers & Data Solutions Ltd is proud to be the Exams Assist official training partner delivering practical, engaging and sector-led training to schools, academies, colleges and multi-academy trusts across the UK.
Our training has been designed by experienced exams professionals who understand the pressures of managing the examination cycle. Every member of our training team has worked within schools and colleges as an Exams Officer or Exams Manager, meaning we teach from real-life experience rather than simply demonstrating software features.
Whether you are implementing Exams Assist for the first time, training new members of staff or looking to maximise the benefits of the system, we provide expert guidance tailored to your organisation.
Why choose official Exams Assist training?
Exams Assist is a powerful software solution designed specifically to support the management of examinations. Like any specialist system, achieving the greatest benefits comes from understanding not only how the software works, but also how it supports the wider examination processes and Joint Council for Qualification (JCQ) regulations.
Our official training helps delegates to:
- Confidently navigate the Exams Assist platform
- Understand how the software supports the full exams cycle
- Improve efficiency and reduce administration time
- Develop confidence when completing key examination tasks
- Learn best practice from experienced exams professionals
- Ask questions in a supportive learning environment
Our aim is not simply to demonstrate software functionality. We help delegates understand why processes are completed in a particular way, giving them the confidence to use the software effectively within their own centre.
Training tailored to your centre
No two schools or colleges operate in exactly the same way. We therefore offer flexible training that can be tailored to meet your individual requirements.
Training can cover areas including:
- Initial system overview
- Candidate entries
- Access Arrangements
- Seating plans
- Examination management
- Timetable management
- Results preparation
- Results Day procedures
- General system navigation
- Best practice and common pitfalls
Whether you require an introductory session for new users or more advanced support for experienced staff, we can design training that meets your objectives.
Delivered by experienced exams professionals
One of the biggest advantages of choosing Exam Officers & Data Solutions is that our trainers have all worked in the education sector.
We understand the challenges faced by Exams Officers because we have experienced them ourselves.
This means our training combines:
- Practical software knowledge
- Real examination experience
- Current JCQ best practice
- Practical tips that save time
- Answers to the questions you are unlikely to find in a user manual
Delegates consistently tell us that learning from people who have actually managed examinations makes a significant difference to their confidence.
Flexible delivery options
We work with you to ensure training fits around your timetable and operational requirements delivered online via Microsoft Teams.
Supporting new and experienced staff
Whether you have recently appointed a new Exams Officer or have experienced staff looking to enhance their knowledge, our training provides valuable professional development.
We regularly support:
- New Exams Officers
- Assistant Exams Officers
- Examinations Managers
- School Administrators
- Senior Leaders
- Multi Academy Trust central teams
Many organisations also use our training as part of their induction programme, helping new colleagues become confident with Exams Assist from the outset.
More than software training
As specialists in examinations management, our support extends beyond the software itself.
Alongside Exams Assist training, we can provide advice on examination processes, compliance, best practice and operational planning by our exams officer mentoring service. This enables delegates to understand how the software supports the wider examinations cycle rather than viewing it as a standalone system.
Our goal is to help centres develop confident, knowledgeable staff who are equipped to deliver efficient and compliant examinations administration.
A Trusted and Continuing Partnership
Exam Officers & Data Solutions Ltd has proudly worked alongside Exams Assist as its official training partner for a number of years.

Each year we continue to work together to ensure users of Exams Assist have access to expert guidance that helps them make the most of the software while developing confidence in managing the examination process.
We are delighted that our partnership has been renewed once again for this academic year. You can read more about our continuing partnership in our latest blog announcement, where we share how we will continue supporting Exams Assist users through specialist training and professional development.
