Helping Gain Qualifications and Improve Skills

GCSE Exams Service
Pass provides access to a nationwide network of GCSE exam centres, allowing learners to sit their exams at a convenient location close to home. This expands opportunities for those in Alternative Provision and other non-mainstream settings by removing common barriers such as long travel distances or lack of access to suitable venues. For providers, it means more flexibility and confidence in arranging exams within a professional, well-managed environment.
Alongside physical exam centres, Pass also offers online functional skills exams in maths and English, available six days a week throughout the year. Learners can choose the option that best suits their needs, whether that is at home or in a local centre. Pass handles the full process from registration through to certification, easing the administrative burden on providers. With no centre registration fees and a complete in-house solution covering both courses and exams, Pass delivers a reliable and flexible exams service designed to meet the needs of Alternative Education Providers.
