Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments

The ‘Access Arrangements, Reasonable Adjustments and Special Consideration’ are designed to facilitate access to qualifications for candidates who have particular requirements, which are set out in two categories:

• Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments are approved before an examination or assessment and are intended to allow attainment to be demonstrated. An example of an Access Arrangement would be the provision of a modified paper for a candidate with a visual impairment.

• Special Consideration may be given following an examination.
