TQUK Functional Skills exams are delivered through our bespoke online system. There are two options for how the exams are invigilated, each with their own benefits.
Online remote: learners can sit their assessments at any time, in any place, with TQUK remotely invigilating through its purpose-built record and review system. Input from centre staff is minimal, perhaps a little moral support for learners setting up their assessment, but we take it from there! System support will always be available by phone or live chat during office hours.
Online face-to-face: learners sit their assessments online in a controlled setting, invigilated by centre staff who then upload the completed documents for us to review and mark. Our team is on hand during office hours to provide support.
Paper-based assessments: for those learners who may prefer a more traditional approach, paper-based assessment is the way to go!
Where learners are taking exams via the paper-based or online option, invigilation must be conducted in line with the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) Instructions for conducting Functional Skills assessments (English and maths). You can view the instructions here.
