Oral examinations carry their own distinct requirements — and yet the staff facilitating them don't always receive the same level of preparation as those working in written exam rooms. This practical, accessible course is designed to change that. Across six short videos, this course equips invigilators and exam staff with everything they need to facilitate oral assessments with confidence, compliance, and care. From understanding the specific demands of the oral exam format to navigating JCQ guidelines, setting up the right environment, supporting nervous candidates, managing access arrangements, and handling the unexpected — this course covers the full picture of the invigilator's role, from preparation through to post-exam responsibilities. Whether you're new to oral examinations or looking to refresh your practice ahead of an upcoming assessment season, this course offers clear, regulation-informed guidance grounded in real-world scenarios.

This engaging and thought-provoking CPD course explores one of the most fundamental — and frequently overlooked — aspects of working with children and young people: what it truly means for a child to feel safe. Going far beyond physical safety procedures and risk assessments, this course takes a holistic and deeply practical look at the multiple dimensions of safety that every young person needs in order to learn, connect, and flourish. Drawing on trauma-informed practice, emotional literacy, growth mindset theory, and person-centred approaches, participants will leave with both a richer understanding of children's needs and a concrete toolkit of strategies to apply in their own setting.
