The Exams Office was founded, is owned and is run by former Department for Education employees who, between them, have extensive experience in the field of exams management and administration. Their experience spans the formation of the National Assessment Agency (NAA), the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA) and, latterly, the Exams Delivery Support Unit (EDSU).

The Exams Office was launched in February 2014 by its three founders – Jugjit Chima (former National Manager of EDSU’s Centre Support Field Team), Nicholas Marr (former Head of Training and Operations at EDSU) and Jean Passmore (former Centre Support Officer at EDSU). They are very ably supported by a team of staff members with extensive experience across the education, finance and operations sectors.

The Exams Office currently has two other sections within its provision – Exams Training and TEO Education.

Exams Training delivers a wide range of must-attend specialist training events and training content is devised and delivered by the experts from The Exams Office and in conjunction with the JCQ and awarding bodies.

TEO Education offers members of The Exams Office reduced costs on a wide range of exams supplies and classroom equipment, including: exam desks; exam seating; classroom furniture; secure storage; and digital exam clocks.
