Communications to centres: Ofqual’s Extended Extraordinary Regulatory Framework (Update 2)

From the 2^nd November until 2^nd December 2020, ESB International assessments will take place remotely, using the video-conferencing facility that your centre habitually uses and that your learners are used to. We have already offered this adaptation in the summer, and the learners, assessors and teachers found it to be valid, reliable and a very positive experience. The assessor conducts and assesses the learners’ assessment in real-time and the assessment has the same content and procedure as face-to-face assessments.

Detailed information about each qualification, how we are adapting it, and what centres and learners need to do to prepare are set out in the guidance documents below.

If centre staff have any questions about these guidance documents or delivering adapted assessments, please email product@esbuk.org.

We thank you for your continued support and we very much looking forward to working with you in 2020 and 2021.
