Key dates & planning exams
Stay organised with our new interactive Qualifications Key Dates Calendar. It can also be downloaded and syncronised seamlessly with your own personal calendar, such as MS Outlook.
Calendar subscriptions allow you to automatically add important exam dates directly to your preferred calendar app (such as Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar). Once you click the subscription button, the calendar will update itself with any future changes or new dates, ensuring you always have the most up-to-date information without manually entering or updating dates.
Amendments and additional dates are detailed in the Key Dates updates document. You can also find key dates on the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) website. Visit the JCQ website
