Information for learners

YMCA Awards: a regulated awarding organisation.

External assessments are assessments that are both set and marked by YMCA Awards.

Our external assessments can either be completed as printed exam papers or onscreen using a computer.

All external assessments must be invigilated, which means someone will supervise the assessment to ensure you're following the rules. This can either be done face-to-face with an invigilator in the same room as you or remotely using eProctoring software.
