Update on Level 3 BTEC results in England for summer 2024

We are grateful to the thousands of schools and colleges who have provided us with the information we needed by our published deadline and appreciate their hard work to reach this milestone.  

July 5 was our final deadline for colleges and schools to submit two vital pieces of information needed to complete eligibility checks and award BTEC qualification grades in August: 

• a qualification claim for learners they told us are expecting to receive a result this summer
• the marks for learner coursework assessed by their teachers and tutors, which accounts for around 60% of the final grade.

Currently, some schools and colleges who offer Level 3 BTEC National qualifications in England have not yet provided us with the information we need to complete eligibility checks and award qualification grades for some of their learners. This means that 2,215 BTEC National Level 3 registrations at 267 schools and colleges are currently ineligible and therefore not on track to receive an overall qualification grade in August.

We expect the number of ineligible results to continue to fall, but are highlighting this now, well ahead of results day, as there is still time to resolve the situation.  Schools and colleges who deliver BTECs can access learner tracking information, confirming which students are on track to receive their BTEC qualification results in August and flagging those where they need to take action.  We want to reassure students, parents and carers that, even though our July 5 deadline has passed, we will do everything we can to support these schools and colleges to obtain the information we need and award eligible learners with results in August. This includes appointing a dedicated member of staff to continue to work with each school or college and sending them expert teams to support them on-site where needed.
