Guidance

When a learner is unable to sit an examination at their centre due to exceptional circumstances - such as a serious medical condition, suspension or exclusions - they can be transferred to another centre to sit examinations.

The transferred candidate process covers the externally assessed, written components for A level, GCSE, International GCSE, International A levels and NQF next generation BTECs only.

For more information about transferred candidates, please see the JCQ guidance linked below:
