Could the qualification be removed in the offending subject (or other subjects) should malpractice e.g. prior knowledge of EMPAs/ other practical assessments in that exam be found in the future after you have been awarded the A Level/ GCSE certificate?
Also in the malpractice regulations does 'disqualification' refer to being unable to attend the exam or the removal of the qualification from a person who has already received the certification?
This is just a hypothetical question drawn from the many spates of exam malpractice in the news.
