- BTEC Level 3 Nationals (2010 QCF and 2016 RQF)
- BTEC Level 1/2 Tech Awards
- BTEC Level 2 Technical and BTEC Level 1/2 Firsts.
As a result, all schools and colleges have been asked not to issue any BTEC L1 and L2 results tomorrow (Thursday 20 August).
Following Equal’s announcement that A Level and GCSE students are to receive Centre Assessment Grades, BTEC have reviewed the impact on BTEC students. Following their review, they have decided to apply Ofqual’s principles for students receiving BTECs this summer.
BTEC qualification results have been generally consistent with teacher and learner expectations, but Pearson are concerned about unfairness in relation to what are now significantly higher outcomes for GCSE and A Levels. Pearson are urgently working with all schools and College to reissue these grades. They have assured us that no grades will go down as part of this review. We will update all of our learners who have been impacted by this decision as quickly as we can.

We know this news will cause additional uncertainty and distress for students and we are extremely sorry to have to share this news. Please be assured that we will share further information as soon as we receive it. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
