Combined CCET and AAC - Probably the quickest route to recognition by the Joint Concil for Qualifications (JCQ) for writing access arrangement reports

Also referred to as the Certificate of Psychometric Testing, Assessment and Access Arrangements (CPT3A), this comprehensive course combines the Certificate of Competence in Educational Testing (Level A) and the Access
Arrangements Course.

Those who complete this course will be awarded both the Certificate of Competence in Educational Testing (Level A) accredited by the BPS and the Certificate of Psychometric Testing, Assessment and Access Arrangements recognised by the Joint Council for Qualifications.

The CCET part of the CPT3A can be done via the 4-day intensive option. If doing it by this route the short Access Arrangements part is then completed online. A minimum number of clients is required for these courses to run.
