Our policy
We have made changes to our policy for candidates with specific needs with effect from 2019. Please take the time to read the policy before making exam entries for candidates who require access arrangements or reasonable adjustments.
The policy is available in alternative formats upon request.
Key points to remember:
- All applications for access arrangements and reasonable adjustments must be submitted at the time of entry and before the entry closing date.
- Applications must be made each time the candidate is entered for an exam.
- We will be unable to accept any late applications so please make sure you check if your candidate needs an access arrangement or reasonable adjustment before you make their entry.
- If changes are made to an entry after the entry closing date, we will not normally be able to transfer any access arrangement or reasonable adjustment to the updated entry.
If you have questions relating to access arrangements or reasonable adjustments, you may find the answer in our FAQs below. Alternatively, please contact the Access Coordinator on the details at the bottom of this page.

ARSM exams
ARSM involves no supporting tests, or anything which requires candidates to respond to questions from the examiner, so extra-time allowances are not normally needed. However, if a candidate has access requirements that the examiner should be aware of, please contact our Access Co-ordinator at the time of entry with the relevant details. We will then liaise with the applicant, the examiner and the exam venue to ensure that all appropriate arrangements are made.
Applicants are also welcome to contact the Access Co-ordinator before making an entry, for further information or to discuss arrangements.
Deaf and hearing-impaired candidates are welcome to bring a sign-language interpreter. We do not need prior notification of this.
