Expanding access to exams
Remote Invigilation for International GCSEs
A secure, accessible exam route delivered in partnership with Pearson.
Remote Invigilation allows eligible students to sit their International GCSE exams at home under secure, monitored conditions.
Delivered through Pearson’s Remote Invigilation Service and facilitated by Tute, this option is designed for students who cannot attend a physical exam centre due to personal circumstances or additional needs.
What is Remote Invigilation?
Remote Invigilation is a Pearson-approved exam delivery method that enables students to complete their International GCSE exams from home while being supervised by trained invigilators online. Exams are monitored in real time using a secure online assessment platform, ensuring all exam integrity requirements are met.
This route is intended to widen access to exams for students who would otherwise face barriers to attending a physical centre.
