New online course launched in 2025

 In January 2025, we launched our new 12-week, online modular course for exams officers who have less than one year’s experience in their role (approximately 1–2 hours of study a week.  

This new course replaced the ‘Getting to know the Cambridge Exams Cycle’ course and the ‘Welcome to being a Cambridge exams officer’ webinar. 

We will be opening bookings for new cohorts of exams officers in May 2025. Cohorts will run from July – October 2025 and you will need to be a new exams officer with less than one year’s experience. 

All our free exams officer webinars are available as usual. You can sign up to our Professional Development Calendar or see details below.

How to prepare for results release for the March 2025 exam series 

Wednesday 30 April 2025

This free-to-access, one-hour webinar is for exams officers who are running exams in the March 2025 series. Join for detailed information about preparing for results release, giving your candidates their results and certificates, and applying for enquiries about results. You can also ask our Results and Despatches team questions.

Phase 3: Coursework and moderation

Submitting requests for the return of coursework

You need to tell us if you would like us to return any moderated work. Complete and submit Coursework and moderation – Form 6 by 6 June 2025. Please note, this form is not for examined coursework.
 
If you do not want us to return the work you have submitted to us, you do not need to do anything. 
 
Keep copies of all the audio and/or visual recordings that you send us for moderation as we will not return these to you.

Phase 6: Results and certificates

Results release

We will release results on Direct on 20 May 2025.

From now until the release of results, we may contact you with questions about your scripts or candidate attendance at any of your exams. Make sure you, or another member of staff, are available to answer these urgent queries. If we cannot resolve the problem we may have to issue ‘NO RESULT’ or ‘PENDING’ outcomes. If you need to update your contact details, please email info@cambridgeinternational.org immediately.

Priority results

Candidates can ask us to send a priority statement of results directly to their chosen educational institutions or employers on the day results are released. These results will arrive on the same day or shortly after results release.
 
For applications to UK universities, we send Cambridge International AS & A Level, Cambridge International Project Qualification and AICE Diploma results to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) in time to meet university deadlines. You do not need to request priority results information for these qualifications if a candidate is applying to a UK university. 

If candidates need to send other qualifications, such as Cambridge IGCSEs, they will still need to apply for priority results.

To apply for a statement of results, complete and return Results and Certificates – Form 9 (March series) by 30 April 2025. A candidate or the centre where the candidate took the exam can complete this form. 

Candidate results website

Candidates can view their results directly on results release day if you give them access to our Candidate Results website.

We recommend you set up your candidates with access this month, so you have time to provide candidates with their login details before results release.

Moderation reports

If you made entries for internally assessed components, your moderation report will be available from Direct within 14 days of results release 

Phase 1: Preparation

Provisional timetable

The March 2026 provisional timetable is available in the ‘Support Materials’ section on Direct. Send us your feedback by 6 May 2025. You can do this by sending an email with the subject line ‘March 2026 timetable feedback’ to info@cambridgeinternational.org

Be alert for scams

You should always be alert to fraudulent activity; for example, scammers could send you an invoice that appears to come from Cambridge.

Our bank details have not changed, and we will never ask you to change our bank details to pay an invoice from us.

If you receive any emails or invoices that look suspicious you should telephone us on +44 1223 553554 and our Customer Services Team will transfer you to a colleague who will be able to check that it came from us.

It is your responsibility to make sure that you are making any payments to the correct Cambridge bank account. If you have questions about making payments securely, contact your bank or payment provider for support.
