What Exams Can I sit?
... and Where?

Tutors & Exams has a network of exams centres covering a wide range of subjects, across the UK.

Learning Partners

Tutors & Exams have established a network of exam centres located across England,  approved by the UKs Awarding Organisations and Cambridge International Education, to host examinations set by them. In addition we also provide assessment facilities for a number of university distance learning programmes, both here and abroad, as well as delivering examinations for a growing number of professional bodies e.g. NEBOSH and AAT.

Each centre is able to accommodate a minimum of 80 candidates per exam session on any given day with some centres having capacity to sit over 400 candidates per day utilising an alternate venues located in close proximity to our exam centre.

The range of qualification assessments we typically offer are detailed below. However, this list is not exhaustive and should you require an assessment not featured here please feel free to contact us and we will endeavour to assist you.

  • GCSE & International GCSE
  • A Levels & International A Levels
  • Pearson International GCSE
  • Modern Foreign/Lesser Taught Language Speaking Tests
  • A Level Science Practical Endorsements (CPACs)
  • A Level Geography Fieldwork
  • Environmental Science Field Trips
  • Non-Examined Assessment (NEA) Coursework
  • Functional Skills
  • Professional Qualifications
  • University Distance Learning
  • Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) qualifications
  • EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) & HPQ (Higher Project Qualification)

GCSE

We host GCSE examinations from the following Awarding Organisaions:

  • AQA
  • Pearson Edexcel
  • OCR
  • Eduqas/WJEC

Excluding Science subjects, where we advise candidates to sit alternative International GCSE sciences to avoid the practical element contained within GCSE Science specifications, we offer assessment on over 45 subjects and 100+ specifications across all Awarding Organisations

Details of the subjects we offer can be found here.

IGCSE/International GCSE

Don’t worry…essentially they are the same qualification! Cambridge International Education hold the trademark for ‘IGCSE’ preventing Pearson Edexcel from using the same name for their alternate suite of subjects. Hence Pearson Edexcel use the term International GCSE. Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel are the only two Awarding Organisations offering ‘International GCSEs’.

For those candidates outside of mainstream education seeking to attain a GCSE in a science based subject, we strongly advise them to look at the IGCSE option as it does not require access to a laboratory to complete ‘practicals’ assessment as required by GCSE specifications.

We are presently able to assess over 60 IGCSE/International GCSE subjects, with over one third of those classified as a foreign language. 125+ specifications across both Awarding Organisations.

Details of the subjects we offer can be found here.

A Level (Ofqual Regulated)

We host Ofqual regulated AS and A Levels, ie those made available in the vast majority of schools in England and Wales, offered by the following Awarding Organisations:

Pearson Edexcel
AQA
OCR
Eduqas (WJEC)

We presently offer over 50 subjects at A/AS Level via 120+ distinct specifications.

Details of the subjects we offer can be found here.

International A Levels

In addition to Ofqual regulated A Levels we also offer International AS and A Levels offered by the following Awarding Organisations:

Cambridge International Education

The Cambridge specifications are similar to A Levels offered in England and Wales.

However, there are some differences. For example, if you’re studying sciences, Cambridge courses ‘Practicals’ are an assessment requirement unlike A Levels where they are optional.  Cambridge assessments are also held twice per year (Autumn and Summer) whereas A Level exams are only sat each Summer. So, in theory, you could sit your Cambridge AS papers in Autumn and your Cambridge A Level papers in the Summer.

Pearson Edexcel 

Tutors & Exams are able to offer Pearson Edexcel International A Level exams (IAL®) in the UK for those students who:

  1. Are studying International A Levels in the UK through an International Learning Provider / Online School.
  2. Have been studying Edexcel International A Level subjects internationally but wish to take the exams in the U.K.

Unlike Ofqual regulated and Cambridge A Levels, which are linearised i.e. all assessments are taken at the end of study, Pearson Edexcel IALs (IAL®) are unitised.

The benefit of Pearson Edexcel IALs (IAL®), over Ofqual regulated and Cambridge A Levels, is that they use the popular and flexible modular approach for all 21 subjects offered, with the exception of Law. This means exams can be taken at the end of each unit of study, or throughout the programme of study when a student feels prepared and ready, or all together at the end of the course. This flexibility, together with exam series in January, June and October, for most subjects and allowing unit re-sits ensures learners have more opportunities to get feedback to improve their performance and get the grade they need to progress.

Details of the subjects we offer can be found here.

Please note: Any requests for a cash-in for Summer 2025 made after the 6th February deadline will incur the standard fee of £55.
