Reasonable Adjustments

About Reasonable Adjustments

Some learners have special requirements for taking an exam. In order to make LAMDA Exams open to everyone, we are able to make a Reasonable Adjustment during the assessment. These small adjustments do not offer an unfair advantage to the learner. They are designed to allow learners who would otherwise be disadvantaged to perform at their best during the exam.

Types of Reasonable Adjustment vary depending on the needs of the learner, but some examples include additional exam time, practical assistance entering, setting up and exiting the exam, and Sign Language interpreters.
