Non-Examined Assessment (NEA) Support
As an approved AQA, Edexcel and OCR examination centre, The Astute College supervises, marks and submits Non-Examined Assessment on behalf of external candidates — including students studying independently, through another provider, or resitting a qualification who no longer have access to a centre for their coursework.
What Is Non-Examined Assessment?
Set Under Controlled Conditions
NEA has to be completed to strict exam board rules, produced over a set period, often with defined supervised sessions.
Counts Towards Your Final Grade
An NEA component isn't optional extra credit — it contributes a fixed proportion of the overall grade, alongside written exam papers.
Why NEA Needs an Approved Centre
Authenticated Supervision
We provide the supervised conditions exam boards require.
Internal Marking
Our subject tutors apply the exam board's mark scheme to your NEA.
External Moderation
Marks and evidence are submitted for moderation.
Secure Submission
We handle candidate registration, evidence upload and submission deadlines.
