The EOA is working closely with  Edexcel to support its existing services to the exam office community. As we enter a new era in exam management and administration there is a need to continue to encourage a more sharing environment that benefits all of our community.

As part of our working relationship with Edexcel, Edexcel provides:   

• support for the EOA’s professional development programme (PDP)
• access to the Edexcel website for targeted material for online PDP
• access to Edexcel sites for EOA PDP workshops
• support for the EOA conferences and other activities where possible
• a link from the Edexcel website to the EOA website and it’s services

 In return the EOA provides:  

• feedback on customer service provision
• support any Edexcel events and activities they are invited to
• a link to the Edexcel website and it’s services
• an information hub for the EOA’s BTEC programme
• promotion of Edexcel’s regional team on the new EOA Network Service

As an independent charity the EOA does not generally endorse or promote any specific services or products by Edexcel or any awarding body. The BTEC suite of qualifications are an exception to this rule as they are the only ones presently available to the exams office community. However, it is clear that the management and administration of examinations, where ever you are in the country or what ever type of centre you work in, experiences similar practices and procedures. Over the years the EOA has been working with awarding bodies and government agencies to encourage cooperation and coordination in this area. The EOA believes that this type of relationship fosters a greater sense of shared ownership in the successful delivery of present and future exam systems.
