Which Exams?

We cover many exams – take a look…

Approved Exam Centres

All centres are approved to offer A/AS Level, GCSE, IGCSE, Pearson International GCSE and International A levels (for IA levels, please note that our Doncaster centre does not have approval) and Functional Skills. University distance learning and Professional Qualification assessments are also available at most of our centres although some restrictions do apply. Please click here for our centre locations for full details.

A Level Science Practical Endorsement (CPAC’s)

In addition to our exam centres we also offer A Level Science Practical Endorsement CPAC’s (Common Practical Assessment Criteria) for those learners that require or wish to see the endorsement(s) on their certificate(s). This assessment is hosted at our dedicated science laboratory in Birmingham or via one of our partner schools located in London or the North West. Please click here for our science lab locations for full details.

If there are any assessments you wish to sit that are not featured on our website please feel free to contact us and we will do our utmost to assist you. Tutors & Exams have rightly earned a reputation in recent years of providing assessment for subjects not normally available with schools or other private examination centres such as Geography (with field trip), Astronomy, Music and Art & Design to name but a few.

Centre Visits

Our centre colleagues are acutely aware that exam nerves and anxiety can, and do, affect many candidates. Therefore, prior to your exam(s), we invite you to arrange a centre visit so you can familiarise yourself with the location of the centre and its layout. Staff will be pleased to provide a guided tour of the centre and explain what will happen on the day of your exam and provide some useful tips on how to stay calm on the day(s). Feel free to give us a call or send us an email.

Amazing Distance Learning Partnerships

We have fostered partnerships with over 100 Distance Learning Providers (DLPs) and Tuition companies. This not only provides us with knowledge of DLP courses and their processes it also allows us to offer preferential examination entry fees to their learners, typically discounting our standard (non-partner) entry fees by between ten and fifteen per cent.

Whatever your query regarding exam availability, coursework (NEA) or practical sessions our highly knowledgeable staff are there to provide answers and assistance.
