Rejected petition Refund fees for private candidates who were supposed to sit exams in this year

Private candidates who are learning/revising at home who do not attend a school or college and had to pay a local centre to sit their exams in the summer, should get a refund as they no longer require the services of the centres/invigilators or the examiners.

More details

With Private candidates paying around anywhere from £175- £400+ per subject and now not even having to sit the exams, the government should work with the exam boards to find a compromise and refund the fees.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Refunds for private exam candidates are for exam centres, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking for the Government to reimburse private exam candidates who have been unable to get a refund, if that's something that you'd like to happen.

Please note that you'll need to use your full name if you start a new petition.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
