STUDENT HUB

Exams Office

Based on the Deeside and Yale sites, we are responsible for making sure all exams at all sites run smoothly. We issue selected results and make sure that students receive their certificates. We can also support students with applications for special consideration, and applications for scripts and clerical checks.

Please see below responses to Frequently Asked Questions regarding exams and certificates:

Frequently Asked Questions

The timetables for written A level, GCSE, BTEC and City and Guilds Technical exams will be emailed to you. You will also receive a reminder text and email the day before each exam confirming your start time, venue and seat number.

If you are taking an online or paper on-demand exam, your tutor will tell you the date, time and room.
In the first instance contact your tutor and let them know, and they can get in touch with the Exams Office. Alternatively please email exams@cambria.ac.uk.

If you start feeling unwell during the exam please let the invigilator know.

Please do not contact the awarding body directly. The Exams Office can apply for Special Consideration on your behalf. You will be asked to provide a statement and must be able to provide evidence such as a doctor’s note.

Please note that Special Consideration applications are time sensitive and have strict deadlines. You will need to inform the College as soon as possible after your exam (for AAT exams this must be reported within 24 hours of the exam).
