Access training and support
Our support package goes well beyond the specification and exam
We’re here to support and advise you throughout the exams’ lifecycle and we produce a range of tools, training materials and additional guidance – a collection that continues to grow.
Training to suit you
Whether you’re
- an early career teacher just starting out,
- an exams officer trying to make sure your school or college is fully prepared for exams,
- or keen to get the lowdown on the most recent exam series so you can prepare students for the next, we’ve got a training course to suit your needs.
Some of our most popular courses include:
- Getting started – an introduction to GCSE: perfect as you start teaching your Year 10s
- Feedback events – a look back at the summer exam with a focus on key aspects of student performance
- Curriculum connect events – a chance to take away key messages from examiner reports as well as finding out about updates to essential resources.

Training
We know that as your career develops, the skills and knowledge you
need will change. Which is why we’ve developed a range of courses
to help you meet the requirements of the latest specifications, with
sessions available for both secondary and post-16 schools and colleges.
English support and resources
When it comes to the classroom, our English experts are well-placed to understand what you need to keep students engaged, on track and working to their potential.
The subject pages of our website contain hundreds of resources to help you deliver our specifications. Categorised by ‘Planning resources’, ‘Teaching resources’ and ‘Assessment resources’, we’ve created specification-friendly content to help you at every stage of your teaching journey.
Our GCSE English support offer is hugely popular with AQA customers – and we’re continually adding to our collection of resources in response to feedback from teachers like you. Our resources and support include:
- professional development courses with student answers and examiner commentaries
- marking guidance
- schemes of work
- teaching guides on key areas of the specification
- sample question papers
- examiner reports
- AQA insights into assessment
Our secure website, Centre Services, also contains lots of past exam papers, example answers and examiner commentaries that aren’t on our public website. Centre Services is also free to AQA teachers.
Exampro is our exam preparation tool. Access hundreds of interactive marked and annotated student responses to GCSE English Language and GCSE English Literature questions. Finally, we have a wide range of English textbooks that are ‘AQA approved’ to support you and your students with AS and A-level, GCSE and ELC specifications.
