They work fine. But remember the 4 hour window when unlocking them is the only negative. I always unlock just ask they are taken off college site. I always connect the laptop back to the college network as soon as it comes back and click on “upload all results” so I now the process is complete. But yes they are as easy to run off site as on site. They have never not worked yet, as you need no internet connection once off site.

We do FS off site.
Edexcel give you a new site number to set up on a laptop. The Administrator software is download to the laptop & the student software. You enter the student in a normal way but use the new site number. You download the exam onto the laptop while connected to the college network exactly the same as you would in your online test room. You unlock the exam before leaving college. The student sits the exam off site as they would any FS exam. Return back to the college and upload the exam as you do in the online test room. Contact Edexcel they send you some good information on how to run them off site.
Hope this helps

Hi
Does anyone run Edexcel Funky Skills offsite? If so, is it easy? Are there any problems that you have?
Our SB department are wanting to run them off site but I'm unsure of all the implications.
Thanks
