What do Tutors & Exams charge for Access Arrangements?
There are additional fees associated with access arrangements and the process of applying, a full list of these fees is available on our website.
What are Access Arrangements?
Access Arrangements are reasonable adjustments made for candidates with specific needs, so that exams measure what they are intended to measure – without being unfairly influenced by a candidate’s individual circumstances.
These adjustments may be required by candidates with:
- Special educational needs (SEN)
- Disabilities
- Temporary illnesses or injuries
Access Arrangement requirements may be unique to an individual candidate and may not always appear on standard lists of available Access Arrangements. All Access Arrangements are subject to examination board approval and require appropriate supporting evidence to be submitted before approval can be granted.
We pride ourselves on high standards of customer service, guiding you through the process from initial enquiry to final approval.
The Access Arrangements Process
To apply for Access Arrangements, you must first complete your exam application form. The form allows you to indicate whether you require access arrangements and which arrangements you normally use. If you need further guidance, you may contact us to arrange a consultation to discuss your needs with our SEN Co-ordinator.
On the application form, you will be required to:
- State the Access Arrangements you normally use
- Provide details of your learning difficulty or medical condition
- Submit supporting evidence
Once we receive your application, our SEN Co-ordinator will explain what is required and support you with completing the necessary paperwork. As Access Arrangements are assessed on an individual basis, the evidence required will vary for each candidate. We will support you throughout the process and keep you updated at each stage.
Please note that additional fees apply to Access Arrangements and the application process. A full list of fees is available on our website.
