Notes: centres that require a visiting examiner for spanish oral units 6sP01 and 6sP03 should enter candidates using option B. A visiting examiner is only available to centres with enough candidates for the equivalent of at least 10 tests (morning or afternoon of examining). no exceptions can be made to this rule. centres should note that an entry for unit 6SP01 option B and unit 6SP03 option B does not automatically entitle the centre to a visiting examiner.
In accordance with Edexcel’s Safeguarding Children Policy, it is the centre’s duty to provide a responsible adult to chaperone the visiting examiner for the duration of the oral examination. If a responsible adult is not available, the oral examination cannot take place. Please refer to www.edexcel.com for access to the full safeguarding children Policy.
candidates at centres where a language specialist is not available to conduct the oral assessment for 6sP01 option A and 6SP03 option A, or who do not meet the requirements to enter for 6SP01 option B and 6SP03 option B may be required to travel to london for assessment via london centre orals. instructions on how to apply for london centre orals are available on the spanish subject page of www.edexcel.com. Alternatively, candidates can be assessed at another centre.
