Welcome to Ofqual
We are the regulator of qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.
Our work ensures that children, young people and adult learners get the results their work deserves, that standards are maintained and the qualifications learners receive count now and in the future. We also regulate National Vocational Qualifications in Northern Ireland.
We have recently created a new video to explain the concepts of the Reliability Programme. The animation covers the ideas behind the programme, which aims to discover more about the reliability of results of exams, tests and assessments.
We also offer plenty of advice on exam preparation. Hints and tips, such as how to manage your time and how best to perform once in the exam room are available.The Exams Doctor is on hand to help with all your qualifications and exams questions.
We are currently running a number of consultations in order gain your views on the work that we do. Each consultation allows you to read and respond in a number of ways. View all our open consultations.
