Results Appeals Procedure
If you are dissatisfied with your results, you have the right to appeal and request a re-mark. We will contact the Awarding Body on your behalf to trigger the appeals procedure. There is a fee for re-marking, but this will be fully refunded if your appeal is upheld. You should be aware that the outcome of any re-marking could result in a lower mark being awarded.
Delegates have a right to appeal or if they feel they were disadvantaged because appropriate procedures were not followed during the examination. Your appeal must be made via email to info@armigertrainingservices.co.uk , giving the grounds for your appeal with as much detail as possible. This must be received within 5 days of sitting the examination, so that the appeal can be considered before results are issued. Appeals made 5 days or more after results are issued may not be considered.
Please note that while the Trainer / Invigilator will endeavour to uphold the integrity of the examination / assessment process and therefore are responsible for its proper conduct, they are also required to report any unusual circumstance on the day of the examination.
Armiger Training Services Ltd will fully investigate any appeal submitted within the permitted timescale and consult with the relevant persons involved and the corresponding Awarding Body if necessary. You will be notified of the result within 28 days of us receiving your appeal. You can at any point contact the Awarding Body directly to obtain their opinion on the appeal outcome.
