During our travels, we have made a great many friends and in some cases even done some work for or worked with on various projects.
Please note, we do get requests to be listed here, we may in time offer a similar service where we could look to do that on a subscription basis. However, in the meantime, this is for our patrons and associates who together offer help offer the amazing services we do.
Astrophotography Tool
ivaylo Stoynov and his wife Maria together develop the Astrophotography Tool.
Some years ago Ivaylo approached us to aid in recording some tutorials for the software. A job we were more than happy to undertake, and still do. Since then we have seen this amazing piece of software grow from strength to strength. To understand why he calls it a “Tool” you would have to use it. Really is the Swiss Army knife in Astrophotography.

Yearbook of Astronomy
Sir Patricks Moores Yearbook of Astronomy was a gem which was of invaluable use to both professional and amateur astronomers alike. To add value to the text even after years had passed by the fascinating essays in the books made them well worth keeping. Many still collect these volumes til this day. In fact, the product might have stopped altogether had it not been for Brian Jones FRAS and his team who continue to produce the book. We list it here not only because we find them invaluable for our operations but as a means of helping to support Brian who in recent years has become a close friend and ambassador to OASA.
The book can be purchased here on Amazon
Tutors & Exams provides examination and assessment facilities primarily aimed at private and home educated candidates. The company was established in 2014 by a former Examinations Officer and Awarding Organisation Manager with over 25 years’ experience in education administration. In those intervening years Tutors & Exams has evolved into a much valued and respected examination venue.
Tutors & Exams has nationwide coverage with centres located around the country https://www.tutorsandexams.uk/#centre-locations. All are approved for examination delivery by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ).
In addition to our examination centres, we also have a dedicated Science laboratory based in Birmingham with the ability to deliver A Level Science practicals all year round (consecutive four-day course for each subject). We also work in partnership with two schools in London to deliver Science practicals outside of term time in these locations.
In 2020/21 Tutors & Exams delivered examination assessments to thousands of candidates. We cater for 95% of all GCSE/GCE and IGCSE subjects alongside Functional Skills and have a dedicated SEN specialist who can assist in organising access arrangements if required. We are willing to consider additional subjects to assess if required.
We work in partnership with many large, respected distance learning providers and online schools, and we very much value the relationship we have with them to deliver high quality assessment for their candidates. We also accommodate private training organisations delivering qualifications to sizeable cohorts geographically spread throughout the UK.
In addition, we also facilitate examinations for a growing number of universities to deliver their distance learning programmes. The University of London, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Napier University, Loughborough University and Edinburgh Business School are already valued clients. Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing and AAT (Association of Accountancy Technicians) assessments are also available in our centres.
