Wolsey Hall students take their external exams as private candidates. Exam centres have the option of whether or not to accept you or your child as a private candidate for their exams. They are not required to do so. However, if you follow the guidelines below, you will make it easier for them to accept your entry.
Contact your chosen exam centre when enrolling on a Wolsey Hall course to check that they will accept you or your child for your proposed sitting (either May/June or October/November). Note that many centres, particularly in the Northern hemisphere, do not offer an October/November sitting.
Use the Exam Information course that is accessible to all Wolsey Hall students to help you with booking and preparing for your exams!
If you require access arrangements, make sure your chosen centre is aware of this. Most will do their best to accept you if they have the facilities. They will advise you of the evidence they will need to submit your application to the exam board, and how you can obtain it. Our Learning Support team are on hand if you wish to have support with applying for Access Arrangements.
For many families with children enrolling to take IGCSE or A level courses they are naturally concerned about finding an exam centre. One family describe how they found the process.
