AoC Exams Conference 2026
Venue: Online via Zoom
Date: 4 February 2026
Time: 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Fee: Startig at £185 + VAT per delegate
Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 February, 09:30 - 12:30
The AoC Exams Conference 2026 will be taking place on Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 February, with a specific focus on the challenges facing the exams office in the FE sector. With the continuing high volume of English and maths GCSE retakes, the complex administration of T Levels, and the high demand for access arrangements, the conference will tackle these pressing issues head-on.
By the time the conference takes place, we should also know what changes to qualifications and assessment might flow from the Curriculum and Assessment Review and these will certainly be on our agenda.
Attendees will benefit from awarding organisation surgery session, offering you the opportunity to ask questions directly, and college exam staff-led sessions, so that you can share common challenges, strategies, and solutions with your peers.
We will also hear from all our major stakeholders so you can ensure you have the latest information on the rules and regulations.
This unmissable event will provide lots of useful insights into the future of assessment as well as inspiring examples of good practice from colleges across the country.
