This update course is for experienced exam facilitators who already have a good knowledge of the regulations and procedures relating to facilitating access arrangements, offering an opportunity to refresh knowledge, be updated on any changes to the JCQ requirements for this year and demonstrate their knowledge through an online assessment.

This update course is a brief refresher of the requirements for facilitating and invigilating access arrangements, especially highlighting any changes to the JCQ requirements from the previous year.

NB. This course is intended for those acting as EAA facilitators and invigilators, and will not cover general invigilation. Please see our Training for Invigilators course and update course if this is what you need.

The course tutor is Caroline Read.

When you book this course and select a start date, you can enter names and emails of delegates who you wish to complete this course. Each delegate place costs £12.

Once you book, delegates will be emailed a username and password to our online learning platform. Each delegate will have access to the training video from the selected start date until the end of the academic year (31st July). The assessment can only be completed once, but the video will stay accessible even once the assessment is passed.

We now require delegates to pass the assessment with 100% in order to demonstrate their competence. Delegates can attempt the assessment as many times as they like until they pass. If delegates are struggling to pass the assessment, we recommend that they access the full Training for Readers, Scribes, EAA Invigilators and other Facilitators course and then retake the assessment.

You will need to book a login for every delegate that you wish to train. You will need their name, email address and role in order to do this.

You will need to select a start date when you book. Delegates will receive access to the scourse form this selected start date until the end of the academic year (31st July).

Once you have booked your delegates, they will each receive an email with a username and password for them to log in with (this will only work from the start date selected).

Every login includes the short update training video and the assessment.

The course includes an online multiple choice assessment. The assessment has several sections, which each require a 100% pass mark, but delegates can attempt the assessment as many times as they like until they pass. If delegates are struggling to pass the assessment, we recommend that they access the full Training for Readers, Scribes, EAA Invigilators and other Facilitators course and then retake the assessment.

Once you have completed all sections, a certificate will be available for you to download and save.

Your examinations coordinators may want a copy for their files.
