Welcome

To the Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors

Our aim is to improve the quality of assessment in schools and colleges by working with educational assessors to develop their knowledge, understanding and capability in all aspects of educational testing and assessment.

As an independent charitable organisation we provide recognition of the crucial work carried out by individuals in the field of assessment, as well as status and professional standards for individuals and an independent 'voice' for the assessment community.
