Exam access arrangements and Form 8

Although our assessments take place online, we work with the school or college as part of the process. With your consent, we request information from the school using a questionnaire. If a JCQ Form 8 is appropriate, the school or college must agree the assessment and approve the assessor in advance. It completes Part 1 before the assessment, describing the learner’s current difficulties and normal way of working, and provides it to the assessor.

After the assessment, our assessor completes Part 2 with the relevant assessment evidence. The school or college completes Part 3 and is responsible for deciding whether to support and process an application for access arrangements.

The school questionnaire and an independent assessment can contribute useful evidence, but neither guarantees exam access arrangements. The school or college must follow current JCQ requirements and make the final decision. Read the JCQ guidance.

Why choose DTC?

Specialist knowledge, lived experience and time to listen. We help you understand the right route, explain findings clearly and connect assessment with practical support.

A holistic journey, built around you

Everyone’s journey is different. We look beyond a single label to understand the person, their history, strengths, environment and goals.

We listen before recommending a route, connect the right assessment options, explain findings clearly and stay alongside you as you turn them into practical support at home, in education or at work.
