On 28 August, the JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications) published their 2024-25 regulations and guidance for exam access arrangements.
Real Training’s free online Access Arrangements Update course launched last week and covers everything SENCOs, exam access arrangement assessors and coordinators need to know about the new regulations. This includes walking you through the new forms so that you can approach the 2024-25 exam season with confidence.

“As ever, a well-designed and delivered presentation. The notes on the administration of DASH-2 were a useful reminder. Thank you.” – Candy Clarkson
“Excellent course much more practical than previous years. Good case studies and practice forms will be helpful to use as good practice examples. Q&A helped to clarify and re visit the changes. Tests and multiple choice questions are a great refresher.” – Mary Agnew
“Thank you for a very useful and informative course. I am overjoyed you offer this every year free of cost. It is hugely appreciated.” – Annabella MacLaren
Would you like some help with the administrative elements of access arrangements? When asked about the benefits of having an access arrangements coordinator, Nick Lait from the JCQ had the following to say:
“Trying to juggle senior leader responsibilities as well as exam access arrangements as a SENCO is very difficult. Having an Access Arrangements Coordinator in place can pay real dividends.
Training is desirable as it equips that person to make decisions independently or defer to the SENCO where required and, of course, ensures they have a thorough understanding of the latest JCQ regulations.”
Nick Lait – Head of Examination Services – JCQ

The theme for Dyslexia Awareness Week 2024 is “What’s Your Story?” We caught up with Luke Hearne-Brown to hear more about his experience of dyslexia. Luke is a successful young filmmaker and co-founder of Imprint Films. He was diagnosed with dyslexia when he was in Year 3 and told us his story.
This event provided a valuable platform to explore current trends and expert insights in literacy and dyslexia/SpLD. We would like to express our gratitude to the speakers and panellists for their insightful presentations and engaging discussions and a huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event such a success!
