Support for Exams Officers

Senior leaders, exams officers and SENCOs play a vital role in ensuring the secure and fair administration of millions of examinations across the UK each year. We recognise the importance of these responsibilities and have created this page to provide targeted support and practical resources.

Here you will find videos, infographics, and guidance covering key stages of the examination cycle. While not every stage is represented, the resources focus on the most critical processes, helping you carry out your duties with confidence and clarity.

Starting a new role as an exams officer can feel daunting, with complex regulations to learn and the critical responsibility of ensuring secure examinations for students. This webinar provides essential foundation training specifically designed for new examination officers entering the profession, while also serving as valuable refresher training for existing practitioners. 

The session covers key areas including question paper procedures, secure storage requirements, invigilation planning, access arrangements, and JCQ inspections.
