How Zoom Exams Work

  • The teacher submits an online booking form
  • We will send the teacher a confirmation email including a timetable template and the examiner’s name and contact details
  • The teacher schedules a Zoom meeting for the exams and shares the meeting details with the candidates and examiner
  • After the exams have taken place, report sheets, certificates and medals will be prepared and sent to the teacher in due course

The second option, ‘Video Exams’, is a simple, straightforward, safe and secure way for candidates to video record their exam from home and upload it directly to us.

How Video Exams Work

  • The teacher submits an online booking form
  • We will send the teacher a confirmation email including a timetable template and a link to a private and secure folder that has been created for the exam centre
  • The teacher shares the link, plus some helpful instructions that we’ve drafted, to each candidate
  • Each candidate simply videos themselves performing their exam pieces at home and uploads their video to the folder via the shared link
  • When all the candidates have uploaded their videos, we’ll give the assigned examiner access to the folder
  • Report sheets, certificates and medals will be prepared and sent to the teacher in due course
