Macclesfield Tutorial College – The Private Exams Centre

Private candidates from all walks of life for the last 20 years

Macclesfield Tutorial College is offering November, January and Summer Examination Entries to home schooled, distance learning and all private candidates for the 20th year.

Local Authorities

The College is experienced working closely with local authorities across the country to provide tuition and examinations for their clients, including cared for children, children in need, or individuals with SEND. For instance, the College has facilitated examinations for students confined to their homes through physical, emotional or mental difficulties.

Distance Learning

Additionally, individuals enrolled on distance learning or online learning programs can apply to sit GCSE/A Level or university organised examinations at our centre. Distance learning courses are increasingly popular, with the widespread availability of internet-enabled devices and reliable and fast internet connections. However, many learning agencies do not offer a facility for learners to take the final exams required to earn to overall qualification. Furthermore, some qualifications, such as the sciences, modern foreign languages or ICT, include controlled tests which require attendance at a physical facility which online agencies typically do not provide. Macclesfield Tutorial College accepts private candidates needing to undertake any such controlled tests and offers facilities for science practicals, language orals and other controlled tests.

Apprenticeships

MTC has successfully partnered with training companies and apprenticeship agencies and conducted examinations for 16-19 students on behalf of their employers or other organisations. Exam sittings usually take place at our centre or on the commercial property according to need and suitability.

 

For further information related to taking exams with Macclesfield Tutorial College, please visit our website – MTC Private Exam Centre. Alternatively, contact us directly for a discussion about how we can help you or your organisation – Contact Details.

Summer 2017 Examinations – Special Consideration

Please note the following statement from the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ), the membership organisation comprising the main UK exam boards, namely AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC.

If you sat GCSE or A level exams with us in May/June 2017 and have any questions or concerns relating to this, please contact us directly on (01625) 501440.

 

 

Special consideration: Minimum requirements for enhanced grades reduced to 25%

The move to linear qualifications and recent tragic events have led the awarding organisations to review how enhanced grades are awarded for GCE and GCSE qualifications.

When a candidate has missed a timetabled component/unit for acceptable reasons and the exam centre is prepared to support an application for special consideration, an adjustment may be made to the terminal grade.

Current minimum requirements for enhanced grading in cases of acceptable absence require candidates to have sat at least 40% of the assessment. Awarding organisations have decided to lower this percentage to 25%.  In rare and extenuating circumstances, awarding organisations have the discretion to make an award on a lower percentage.

Therefore, candidates who have missed a timetabled component/unit for acceptable reasons and the centre is prepared to support an application for special consideration, the candidate must have taken at least 25% of the assessment for the awarding organisation to consider an enhanced grade.

The change will be implemented retrospectively for candidates who were due to take examinations in May and June 2017. Please note that for unitised AS/A level qualifications, an A level award will not be issued on the basis of AS units alone.

 

 

November 2017 – Cambridge International Examinations

IMPORTANT – CHANGE TO THE LATE ENTRIES DEADLINE FOR THE NOVEMBER EXAM SERIES

 

Please note that there is no longer a late entries deadline for the November exam series when applying for exams with Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). The entry deadline for the November series is 21st September 2017 after which entries may not be accepted. If an entry is accepted after this date, a Very Late Entry fee will be charged. Fees for exam entry can be found on our website here.

Entry deadlines for November 2017 exams with the JCQ examination boards, namely AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC, are yet to be confirmed and will be published on our website as soon as they become available.

GCE Science Practical Endorsement

 

The Department for Education (DfE) and Ofqual have mandated that any candidate undertaking a reformed A/AS Level Science specification with a JCQ awarding body (AQA, Edexcel, OCR) must be given the opportunity to attempt the accompanying Practical Endorsement at the same centre with which they are sitting the written papers. In other words, if you wish to attend Macclesfield Tutorial College and attempt the Practical Endorsement in our fully equipped laboratory, you must also be entered for the written examinations with our Examination Centre.

Attempting the Practical Endorsement is not compulsory, although the development and testing of practical skills is a central component of all A Level Science qualifications, so some experience in a laboratory will prove invaluable and maximise your chances of success in the written exams since a proportion of the questions will focus on practical skills and data interpretation.

Please visit our GCE Science Practical Requirements page for full details, including the value for money Practical Packages we offer.
