The EOA is working closely with the ABC 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 ABC, ABC provides:

• access to the ABC’s website for targeted material for online CPD
• access to ABC sites for EOA CPD workshops
• support at the EOA conferences and other activities were possible
• a link from the ABC website to the EOA website services

In return the EOA provides:

• feedback on customer service provision
• support for any ABC events and activities the EOA are invited to
• a link to the ABC website and it’s services

As an independent charity the EOA does not endorse or promote any specific services or products by ABC or any awarding body. 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.
