Access Arrangements in Exams Course

Facilitating Access Arrangements in Exams

This short online course is designed for staff facilitating access arrangements in exams, including invigilators, curriculum/academic/teaching staff and support staff.

Access arrangements play a vital role in ensuring that students are able to demonstrate their knowledge and skills without being disadvantaged by a barrier unrelated to the assessment itself. When delivered well, they support fairness, confidence and exam integrity.

This course focuses on the practical delivery of facilitating access arrangements in exams, grounded in Joint Council for Qualifications requirements and informed by real exam-room experience. It is not about policy interpretation or eligibility decisions. Instead, it is about helping you feel confident, clear and compliant in your role.
