Sitting Exams at an Online School
Just like most schools around the world, a big part of achieving qualifications is sitting exams. So, while our pupils can learn online at home, they need to visit a Pearson-Edexcel exam centre for their International GCSEs or a Cambridge International exam centre for A/AS Levels.
We advise that you contact your nearest exam centre as soon as possible to begin the enrolment process. Not all of the centres can offer practical (for some sciences) or oral (for some languages) exams, so it’s worth checking with centres in good time.
Don’t worry – it’s normally a very straightforward process, but we encourage you to leave plenty of time to get organised before the exams commence. This will also help avoid any late fees.
Please refer to our guidance and resources below to assist you in finding a suitable exam centre and registering your child as a private candidate. Before enrolling at our school, we strongly advise you research the availability of exam centres near your location. Please be aware that if you do not see an option locally, you may have to travel if there is not an exam centre situated in your location.

Examinations With Tutors & Exams
Tutors and Exams provides examination and assessment facilities primarily aimed at private and home educated candidates. The company was established six years ago by husband and wife, Jenny & Chris Spraggett, both of whom have a wealth of experience working in the examination/education sector. In those intervening six years, Tutors and Exams has evolved into a much valued and respected examination venue.
Tutors and Exams currently have four examination centres located in; Bolton, Coventry, Doncaster and London. A fifth centre, based in St.Neots, Cambridgeshire, is scheduled to open in October 2020. All are approved for examination delivery by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ).
In addition to their examination centres, they also have a dedicated Science laboratory based in Birmingham that delivers A Level/GCSE Science practicals all year round (consecutive four day course for each subject, or intensive two day course over weekend). They also have access to another science laboratory located in a London school, which is available to offer Science practicals outside of term time.
In 2019/20, Tutors and Exams delivered examination assessment to over 2,400 learners. They cater for 95% of all GCSE/GCE and International GCSE subjects offered by all UK Awarding Organisations, alongside Functional Skills. They also have a dedicated SEN specialist who can assist in organising access arrangements if required.
Tutors and Exams work in partnership with many large, respected distance learning providers, including My Online Schooling, as well as a growing number of UK universities to provide examination facilities for their distance learning programmes. Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing is also available too. They also accommodate private training organisations, delivering qualifications to sizeable cohorts throughout the UK.
