Feeling Lost When It Comes to Exams for Your EOTAS Student? You're Not Alone.
Worried about how your child will sit their exams outside of school?
Confused about finding an exam centre, securing funding, or arranging access support?
Overwhelmed by the whole process?
We’ve got you.
I learnt so much and the most valuable thing I gained was confidence and a bit more fight in me! It is also easier to learn from a live event (or replay) listening to people talk, than reading information online or in books.
This March join Heidi Mavir, EOTAS expert and founder of EOTAS Matters, for a practical, no-nonsense session designed specifically for parents navigating the exam system for their EOTAS students. No jargon. No confusion. Just clear, actionable guidance to help you move forward with confidence.
Heidi will cover:
✅
Exam Pathways Explained – Understanding different qualification options and what suits your child best
✅
Finding the Right Exam Center – How to locate and approach centers that accept private candidates
✅
Access Arrangements – What support your child is entitled to and how to secure it
✅
Funding & Local Authority Support – Strategies for getting exam costs covered
✅
Essential Paperwork – What documentation you need (and how to get it right)
✅
Timelines & Deadlines – Planning ahead to avoid last-minute stress
✅ Advocacy Skills – How to confidently communicate with exam boards and Local Authorities
Why Come Along?
- Get expert guidance from someone who’s been through it all
- Learn the strategies that have helped countless families secure exam access
- Connect with other EOTAS parents who understand the challenges

This is tough, but you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s figure it out together.

Heidi loves giraffes and will delight you with "giraf-facts" given the opportunity. Her small pleasures are listening to Dolly Parton's music, Yorkshire Tea and her leopard print sofa, which cost more than her car. She wishes all dresses had pockets.
It was really informative in a really easy to understand format which Heidi is amazing at delivering. I've been on this journey for many years and it has finally helped me to see things much clearer. It was also very manageable because of the length and not too overwhelming.
