Changes for 2023-24

Pearson has introduced a November International GCSE series in 2023 which now replaces our January
International GCSE series. This does not affect our International A Level exams, which continue to be
available in October, January and June.

Private Candidates

Private candidates are candidates taking a qualification without being enrolled full-time in a centre. They are
responsible for their own entries, which must be made through an approved centre. Some qualifications
contain conditions for non-examined assessment, coursework and internally assessed components. These
conditions must be met by a centre in order to make an entry for a private candidate. If the conditions
cannot be met, the centre should not make an entry for a private candidate. For a full list of qualifications
and private candidate eligibility please refer to our website.

Fees explained

The fees are accurate at the time of publication. Pearson reserves the right to:

● Alter the fees at any time, although it will endeavor to give centres notice of such alteration.
● Refuse to accept new entries from a centre if the centre has a debt outstanding to Pearson at the
due date of submission of new entries.
● Remove approval if there are long-standing financial issues which have not been resolved.
● The price list is exclusive of any sales tax, VAT, or other government charges, levies or withholdings
which may apply.

Late fees

After the entry deadline, you will be charged late fees for any entries you make. From the late fee date, the
entry (unit or subject) fee is doubled. The entry fee is trebled after the high late fee date.

Changes to entries

If you change a subject option (either to change a tier or paper), this will be classified as a new entry and
may be subject to late fees. You will not be charged a late fee for changing candidate details (such as name
amendments) unless a certificate has been issued.

Refunds

If you withdraw an entry before the high late fee date you will be refunded the entry fee. If you withdraw an
entry after this date, you will not be issued with a refund for the entry fee unless you can provide supporting
medical evidence that the candidate could not complete the unit/s.

Late cash-in fee

We will charge £7.00 for late requests for a subject award (cash-in) prior to the issue of certificates.

Transfer of candidate entry

If a candidate is unable to sit an examination at their centre due to exceptional circumstances, such as a
serious medical condition or suspension or exclusion, they can be transferred to another centre. Detailed
information about the criteria, regulations and process may be found in the JCQ Guidance Notes for
Transferred Candidates.

Fees explained (continued)

Transfer of candidate entry (continued)

The candidate’s centre and proposed host centre must both complete the Transferred Candidate Form and
submit the request to transferredcandidates@pearson.com.

The JCQ guidance and form can be obtained from the Transferred Candidates section of the Pearson
Qualifications website, or the JCQ website.
We will charge you for this service.

Replacement certificates and Certifying Statement of Results (CSOR)

We can only replace a certificate where it has been lost, damaged or destroyed by the centre. In these cases,
centres may contact pqs.internationaleo@pearson.com to apply for a duplicate. A separate charge will be
made for each duplicate certificate requested per learner.

If a student has lost or damaged their certificate, they can apply for a Certifying Statement of Results, which
is an official copy of the final qualification results held by Pearson.
We can also send a Certifying Statement of Results directly to educational institutions, professional bodies
or employers.

An overseas delivery cost of £20 per batch (up to 20 replacement certificates) will also apply.
For costs and to apply for these services for learners, please visit the Pearson Qualifications website: Apply
for a copy of your results or certificate. Additional information for Exams Officers may found in the Results
and certification: Certification section of the Pearson Qualifications website.

Unannounced inspection visit fees

Please note that all Pearson Edexcel International centres are subject to periodic unannounced inspections
during each series to ensure that the examinations are being administered correctly. Every effort will be
made to minimise expenditure, but the cost of these inspections will be re-charged to the centre by the
inspecting authority as part of quality assurance process.

Fees explained (continued)

Visiting examiner and moderator fees

Centre visits are compulsory for some subjects. Please visit the subject pages of the Pearson Qualifications
website for information about the specific requirements which apply to GCE A Level, GCSE and International
GCSE qualifications.

For subjects which offer an optional service on request, the facility will only be granted based on the
availability of examiners and moderators for the examination series.
For all visits, a standard fee will be charged per centre based on location. Every effort will be made to plan
itineraries to include visits to more than one centre in order to reduce costs, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Reformed GCE A Level Science Practical Monitoring visits

For centres teaching the reformed GCE A Level specifications in Biology, Chemistry and Physics (2015) it is a
regulatory requirement that delivery of the Common Practical Assessment Criteria (CPAC) is monitored. This
is designed to support teachers in delivering the CPAC.

Any arrangements for planned Monitoring visits will be communicated to centres. We do not expect this
process to incur an additional fee for centres, but this may be subject to review.
