Ofqual has confirmed that students due to finish vocational or technical qualifications this summer will be awarded a calculated result. These will draw on a range of evidence, depending on the structure of the qualification.
Different approaches are to be used across different categories of qualification, with further details expected to be announced after Easter.
Ofqual is currently drawing up a list of qualifications that will be able to be awarded in this way, but has confirmed that it will include “many” BTEC Nationals, Cambridge Technicals, and UAL Diplomas.
Also included will be general qualifications such as the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge Pre-U and Core Maths qualifications.
