Hi
I attended the AOC EO Conference last Wednesday and spoke to a member of staff from Pearson who confirmed that they are closing down promisor and migrating all on line tests, including Functional Skills over to POP
There will be an email release of this information over the next couple of weeks I believe

They've been saying that they were going to go to POP for a couple of years, certainly since we changed to them, so we're very much we'll believe it when we see it!! :-)
Many Thanks

Please note that mobile phones and smartwatches are not permitted into Examination Rooms, please remind your students that they must hand their mobile phone/smartwatch into the Examinations Team for safe keeping before their examination. Anyone found to have a mobile phone/smartwatch in an examination will be jeopardising their examination.

Hi
I haven't heard this - are they definitely changing to POP? That would be a game changer!

We just use Edexcel for Functional skills but not looking forward to if they change to POP may try to persuade the college to use another awarding body.

Subject: Functional Skills exam boards
We offer functional skills qualifications from AQA, OCR and City & Guilds (in English, Maths and ICT) and one department is thinking they'd like to add Edexcel to the mix as well next year. For each board we only have small cohorts of students (15 max) This means I have to get my head around all four registration, exam entry and certification processes for very small numbers. Are we the only College to offer such a mix of boards or is the norm?
