Assessments

There will be one assessment series every month from July 2011 through to July 2012 inclusive.

We've worked with Ofqual to develop a more flexible approach which now enables you to deliver the assessments throughout the week of each assessment window. Dates are detailed below.

Entry windows (Levels 1 and 2 apart from Speaking, Listening and Communication)

Entries for the Levels 1 and 2 examinations should be made by the following deadlines:

When can assessments be conducted?

We've worked with Ofqual to create five day testing windows. Once entries have been made for the correct series a paper (Reading, Writing, Mathematics or ICT) will be able to be taken at any point in the five day window. Please see below for testing window dates:
