Hi Tony,
We do the following for all on-line except FS:
Do you run these every day all year? – yes apart from college staff training days and we don’t run evening exams in half term.
How many sessions per day do you run? – depends on demand, we try to fit the tests to the times the lecturers want as much as possible, eg today we have 6 online slots running variety of exams in each.
What is you deadline for bookings – how many days/weeks prior to the required exam date? – we need a minimum of 10 working days notice
For FS we have pre booked slots at 9.30 and 12.30 every day, if FS don’t use the slots then we book them for other exams to meet the demand.
Many Thanks
Rachel

Hi All
I am currently reviewing our online & paper based on-demand exams, more specifically the frequency at which we offer and run these. I would appreciate greatly if I could get some feedback from other centres on what their set-up is with
regards to:
Do you run these every day all year?
How many sessions per day do you run?
What is you deadline for bookings – how many days/weeks prior to the required exam date?
To help with context here, we currently offer on-demand online and paper based exams every day of the year (obviously not on bank holidays etc.). We run 4 sessions per day for online exams; 9am, 11am, 1pm and 3pm and we have a (quite loose)
deadline of 2 weeks-notice for online exams and 3 weeks-notice for paper based exams. I am currently reviewing this as following a re-structure in the team I believe it is unsustainable.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Tony McIlroy
