The union says the practical details of the changes have yet to be worked out and time is running out.
The Minister for Education outlined today the exam will be rebranded the Junior Cycle Student Award.
Minister Ruairi Quinn says this new system will put students, rather than exams, at the centre of the three year process.
President of the TUI Gerard Craughwell says the changes are being rushed and teachers will not be able to cope with the increased workload.
