eCandidate Record Sheet (eCRS)
Summer 2019
What is eCRS?
eCRS is an online application used to provide marks/comments and other required
information to CCEA as part of the moderation process.
Removes the need to complete hardcopy:
candidate record sheets;
OMR TAC1 form;
TAC2 form (Internal Standardisation information/confirmation).
Provides the facility to:
record candidates’ marks with automatic totalling;
link teacher reference codes (e.g. teacher initials) with candidates;
confirm internal standardisation has been carried out;
confirm centre authentication of controlled assessment/coursework;
capture signed confirmation from teachers and candidates to authenticate work;
validate submissions.
