Extra Time and Supervised Rest Breaks in Exams: Strategies and Evidence - Live Webinar with Q&A (ETSRB)

  • Monday 13th October 2025, 7.00pm - Webinar

90 minutes - Members £20 (using discount code) || Non-members £25

​This webinar is for those involved in assessing for, applying for, or coordinating access arrangements in examinations.

With the new focus on supervised rest breaks in place of 25% extra time for many candidates, and the requirement to have samples of evidence demonstrating the successful use of extra time, Caroline will discuss how to:

  • organise internal tests and mock exam papers to demonstrate how to show the successful application of 25% extra time for inspection (as required from September 2025)
  • help candidates make best use of their extra time and/or supervised rest breaks in examinations

The course tutor is Caroline Read.
