Unit 300 - Solving Problems and Making Decisions
Unit 300: Solving Problems and Making Decisions
Extra workload in the form of all BTEC students having to sit at least 2 exams.
Background
I work for SGS College in Bristol. The college caters for 16-19 year old learners and also provides education for adult learners, with a wide range of courses.
We have a very successful sports academy and generally good facilities across the college which provide specialist training.
I work in the Exams team and my role is to register, claim and maintain multiple courses through different boards. I am personally responsible for all BTEC, NVQ and OCN courses. I also help with the running of the A-Level and GCSE exams. This means that I register every student with the relevant examining board and make sure that, throughout the year, any student who needs withdrawing or changing in anyway, is facilitated for this. At the end of their course, I claim for these students and make sure that they get their certificate and that, if they are looking to go to university, everything is arranged for them to achieve that.
Description of my Problem
The problem I am currently facing is the certainty of having to run at least 2 online exams for all BTEC students studying at our college. This has been made aware to us within the last 2 months.
This is thoroughly widespread throughout the college as the majority of our 16-19 year old students at our college are studying a BTEC course. This equates to around 2000 students. These exams will be run during most days of the week throughout the year so we are able to enable every student to sit the exam. These have to be completed between the months of September to April.
This new task will affect the Exams Department, Enrolments, Registry and IT. Exams will be affecting in that we will have to book, arrange and invigilate the exams. Registry will be required to find and book us rooms with adequate IT facilities. Enrolments will face an affect in their numbers of students
