MI Students and teachers of the Certificate of Professional Competence exam are facing tighter security from the administering body in a hid to stop cheating.
The number of random visits to test centres by Royal Society of Arts inspectors on the day of the exams rose in March and June. And the society is no longer sending teaching establishments spare multiple-choice papers as some teachers claim these made forgeries easier. The changes were revealed at the second meeting of CPC teachers. The first meeting, in January, called on the RSA to increase security and improve the wording of its questions because some were ambiguous.
The Royal Society of Arts will be holding a series of free regional seminars in August to introduce the new syllabuses for the CPC exam.
