The Examination Officers’ Association (EOA)

The EOA is an independent, non-union organisation whose role is to support the professional development of exam office personnel working in centres throughout the UK. We ensure our members’ views are heard by government agencies, awarding bodies and senior management teams. Our members have access to information, resources & a strong peer support grass roots network, to help in their day-to-day work. We also help our members in promoting the importance of this role to the whole education community so that they can be supported in delivering an effective examination system.
