Test Accessibility

Doing our outmost to cater for the needs of all our candidates

Exam accommodations are modifications we make to tests or testing conditions that enable people with disabilities and/or limited English-language ability to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in an exam situation.
The most common modifications are: giving candidates extra time to complete a test, reducing the number of test items, allowing someone else to write down the candidate’s answers for them, and including text-to-speech conversation software which can read the questions aloud. In the case of non-native speakers of English who are not proficient, test accommodations include both bilingual glossaries or test questions translated into their native tongue.
