Examinations for Private Candidates

We are able to take private candidates for most subjects including English, Maths Science and ICT qualifications, including where coursework or controlled assessment have been completed in a previous exam and can be carried forward to future re-sit exams.

Great news – because of our wider affiliate and partner centres, we are now able to offer practical examinations at centre with the appropriate laboratory facilities to conduct these.

Candidates (or their parents/guardians) can pay for examinations by:

• Cash in person at the office
• Cheque – payable to Blessed Ltd, and putting the candidate’s name on the reverse indicating what fees are being paid. All cheques must be received at the office two weeks before the deadline for entries. Confirmation of entries will be sent once cleared funds have been received in our bank account.
• Direct debit or Standing orders
• Online bank transfer to: Blessed Ltd Lloyds Bank Account: 01128643, Sort Code: 309966

When transferring payments online, please state student name in the Reference field, (for example: Eve Adam)

This is a very important piece of information that the Examinations Officer requires if you are either re-taking an exam, or have taken GCSEs or A Levels in the last five years or so. This enables the examination board to “tally up” all previous results with any re-takes, and give the candidate a new overall grade.

This is also essential for candidates who are at schools/colleges who are re-taking their qualifications in order to try to achieve improved grades for University applications or, for students taking a “gap” year and wishing to improve on A2 results.

Blessed Education is able to take on candidates of any age, but if the child is under 16 years of age, then they will require a parent, escort or guardian to be contactable during and after the exams. No parent, escort or guardian or any unauthorised persons will be allowed in the exam room on exam days.
