New dates for paper-based and multiple-choice exams
Saturday, 29 August 2020

Assessing you safely
Your safety is our priority. Your Learning Partners will adhere to local government guidance and advice for the running of exams – on the day of the exam please ensure you follow all safety requirements and procedures as instructed.
We are committed to developing safer, alternative assessment routes for all of our learners. The first phase of this transformation project includes units NG1, IG1, NGC1 and IGC1 in the English language only and the date of the first exam for these will be announced shortly.
It is our hope that this September exam date – where safe to do so – will enable learners from other qualifications to complete their studies and achieve the qualification they have worked hard for. All of our qualifications remain in our transformation plans and the running of paper-based exams should be seen as an interim measure.
