Working with TES has removed a great deal of stress in finding the right people at the right time.

The Cooperative Academy of Manchester I am an Exams Manger at a busy high school in Manchester. We employ additional invigilators at busy times to help with the larger groups and to cover absences. I have found the service over the last year from TES to be excellent. The staff provided are trained and professional and working with TES has removed a great deal of stress in finding the right people at the right time. Thoroughly recommend.

Every time I phoned or e-mailed with a query they never failed to provide a very friendly and extremely efficient response.

University Technical College Media City We have used The Education Specialists for the last few seasons of Mock examinations and the GCSE/GCE Examinations last summer. Thanks to the TES team they have ran super smoothly right from start to finish. Every time I phoned or e-mailed with a query they never failed to provide a very friendly and extremely efficient response. The invigilators are professional and have great experience in the task at hand. With strong integrity and adherence to rules they definitely make my exam experience less stressful!
