Extra time may be granted for a variety of reasons e.g. non-English speaking candidates, typing constraints, medical condition or learning disability (e.g. dyslexia) that can affect their examination performance.
The Training Provider will need to contact Onlineorders@bohs.org
Please note:
- If the adjustment is for an extra invigilator which is provided by BOHS, you will be charged for this cost.
- Evidence of a learning disability/medical condition is required to assess necessary adjustments - evidence usually consists of a medical report/letter from the candidate's GP outlining the condition and what requirements are needed.
- BOHS need to be informed at least 7 working days before the exam. If eligible, the extra time will be added to the candidate's exam.
If a candidate informs you of a medical condition that requires them to sit in a separate room, you will need to contact your Customer Support Officer. Evidence is necessary to evaluate and advise on the reasonable adjustments we can make.
Please Note:
If a second room is required, a secondary invigilator will be needed, and we will charge you for the additional invigilator.
Evidence* of a learning disability/medical condition is required to assess necessary adjustments.
*Please read our Reasonable Adjustment Policy for further information. You can access it here.
For example P903, P904, P602, P603, and P604.
