Before submitting marks, centres must ensure that they have followed their internal appeals procedure. Candidates must be informed of their centre assessed marks so that they may request a review of the centre’s marking before marks are submitted to WJEC. Further information is available on the .

Find Internal Assessment Deadlines on the WJEC Key Dates and Timetables page.
Input, Submit and Amend Internal Assessment Marks
Centres input and submit internal assessment marks via a facility on the called IAMIS (Internal Assessment Mark Input System). Secure website primary account holders (usually the Exams Officer) have automatic access to IAMIS. Secondary account holders can request access to IAMIS from their centre’s primary account holder.
Alternatively, internal assessment marks can be submitted by EDI. EDI files take up to 72 hours to process at which point IAMIS will be pre-populated with the submitted marks. Further information about EDI submission is available via the helpline on 029 2026 5169.
For both methods (through the secure website or EDI), centres will need to input details of each candidate’s teaching group directly onto IAMIS. The marks must then be submitted on IAMIS in order for the moderation sample to be identified.
Refer to our Internal Assessment: A Guide for Centres for further guidance regarding the submission of internal assessment marks.
Once a centre has submitted their marks, a moderation sample is generated, and moderator details are displayed on IAMIS.
Submitting moderation samples
Some subjects require the completion and submission of covers sheets and declaration forms. These must be completed for all candidates not only those in the sample, and can be located on the home page of each relevant subject.
Some subjects require the electronic submission of work using the and/or IAMIS (our Internal Assessment Mark Input System). Further information, including the subjects involved, is available on our e-submission page.
Full details of the process including submission deadlines and subject-specific information is available in our Internal Assessment: A Guide for Centres document. Despatch stationery is provided on the basis of preliminary entries. If you require additional stationery, please email despatchqueries@wjec.co.uk.

Practical examination windows and deadlines are published in our Examination Timetables & Internal Assessment Deadlines.Ìý Our subject teams provide specific guidance on practical assessments during the year.
A consortium is an arrangement between two or more centres to offer qualifications. Candidates from different entering centres are taught and assessed together as one group. Consortium arrangements are only available for internally assessed Non Examination Assessment (NEA) units/components and certain externally assessed NEA units/components.

Centre Consortium Arrangements

Where two or more member centres will be entering candidates for work that is centre-assessed, the Centre Consortium Arrangements form on the must be completed. This will enable the candidates for each specification to be treated as a single group for the moderation of centre-assessed work. Centres must notify us of any significant changes to the data on this form post-submission.

Centre consortium co-ordinator

The centres concerned must nominate a consortium co-ordinator who will liaise with the relevant awarding body on behalf of all centres in the consortium. If there are different co-ordinators for different specifications, a form must be completed for each specification.
