The service is only available to candidates where a result is a fail in any of the written, oral response or practical exams. All requests must be received within 6 weeks of the release date of the results.

Requests for a post-results review of marking must be made to the Administration Manager. All requests must be made by email

The post-results review will include:

  • A clerical re-check, to ensure that the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly.
  • A review of the original marking.
  • In circumstances where the review does not result in a pass, a report on areas for improvement will be provided.

The IAEA will provide a response within 35 days of receipt of the request. A fee of £50 is payable for this service and is refundable if the review results in a pass. Where a re-sit for the same unit has been booked and the review results in a pass, the entry fee for the resit will be refunded.

As part of the moderation process, a review of the original marking is carried out by a senior examiner on a sample of scripts prior to results being published. Where a candidate's script has already been reviewed, the candidate will be made aware and provided with the option of cancelling their request for a post-results review. In these circumstances the £50 fee will be reimbursed if the request is cancelled.

The IAEA is committed to providing fair and transparent remark processes, where a candidate wishes to appeal the result of a post-result review the examination appeal policy is relevant. The examination appeals procedure is intended for consideration of circumstances that materially affect a candidate's performance in an assessment where all other available routes for enquiries have been exhausted. Please refer to the Examination appeal process.
