Transferred Candidates

Transferred Candidates Guidance Notes

Transferred Candidates Application Form

Where a candidate is unable to sit one or more of their examinations at their original centre of entry it may be possible to make arrangements for them to take the examination(s) at an alternative registered centre. For example, this may be because the candidate's family will be moving home during the course of the examination timetable. The results and any certificates will be issued to the original centre of entry. A fee is payable to AQA for this service.

Where a candidate will be undertaking all of their examinations at a different centre and where the results and certificates should be issued to the receiving centre, an entry withdrawal request should be submitted by the original centre and an additional entry submitted by the new centre.

Information on the procedures and some examples of acceptable reasons for a Transferred Candidate request are included in the Guidance Notes.

A Transferred Candidate arrangement should not be confused with a Transfer of Credit where a candidate transfers between specifications or awarding bodies midway through a GCE, VCE or GNVQ course.

Enquiries should be addressed to AQA at transferredcandidates@aqa.org.uk.
