Private candidates will be assessed in a similar way to other students, by a recognised exam centre using an adapted range of evidence, which includes taking the exam board provided assessment materials in a suitable form. Centres will be asked to assess candidates based on what they have been taught. They will be allowed to conduct assessment remotely if necessary. DfE will ensure that sufficient centres are available to assess private candidates and that the costs are not significantly increased compared to a normal year. There will be a process for centres to express interest before the list is published. Following this, a list will be made available of centres willing to assess private candidates. Ofqual will work to ensure exam boards provide sufficient guidance on an assessment approach and support materials to those centres that wish to carry out this role.
