Exams Officer Noticeboard

The information below notes some of the important dates, deadlines, and reminders for Exams Officers this month. Full Key Dates documents for various levels of qualification can be found within our Key Dates & Timetables page.

We communicate important information and updates relating to our specifications and processes by issuing circulars, which are available in the ‘Key Information’ area of Portal in the middle of each month. Exams Officers will receive an email notifying them of this, and should ensure relevant circulars are seen by appropriate members of centre staff.

JCQ also provide a monthly newsletter, which centres can access and subscribe to from their website.

Our Welcome to WJEC document provides an overview of WJEC systems and processes for Exams Officers.
