GCSE Equivalence Testing

To undertake Early Years Professional Status training and assessment, there is a statutory requirement that candidates must possess GCSE Mathematics and English at Grade “C” or above, or hold an equivalent qualification. If a candidate does not possess one of these qualifications they may sit an Equivalence Test organised and marked by an approved organisation.

EM Direct has arranged with “Equivalency Testing for Careers in Teaching”, of Brentwood, Essex, www.equivalencytesting.com to undertake any tests required by our candidates.

“Equivalency Testing” provide equivalent GCSE testing for students who have not reached the standard grade in previous learning institutions.

Candidates needing to undertake a test in any of these subjects should follow the above link and make the necessary arrangements.
