We have published new sample marked learner work (SMLW) for the external components. We add new SMLW after every assessment series to give you additional fresh examples based on the most recent Externally Assessed tasks. Be sure to review them to support your planning and delivery.

The deadline for mark submission and to upload sampled learner work is 15 December 2024 for the December/January series. If you have learner work ready, Learner Work Transfer is now open and ready for submissions.

Remember, we can only provide your initial draft moderator report in good time if you meet this deadline.

We are enhancing your initial (draft) moderator feedback reports to make them clearer and more consistent, based on your feedback.

From this December/January series, you’ll notice a more uniform structure used across all subjects, a glossary of terms to make reports easier to understand, and a guidance video that will help you put the feedback into practice. We hope you’ll find these improvements useful and look forward to hearing what you think.

After listening to your feedback, the moderator feedback reports you’ll receive following the moderation of PSAs completed in December/January will be available to download directly from Edexcel Online.  

As soon as your initial moderator feedback report is ready to download, a notification email will be sent to your Exams Manager, Exams Officer and Exams Assistant, and Quality Nominee to let them know.

They’ll then be able to download this in Edexcel Online and forward to anyone who needs to review this. Your final moderator report will be published and accessible from Edexcel Online on results day as usual. 

Check out the latest updates on Tech Awards (2022) and sign up for future updates.

These sessions are for centres in England only and will focus on the impact of Government reforms on post 16 qualifications and funding.

You will hear our latest updates in response to Government's announcement (scheduled for December) after the pause and review and have the opportunity to ask questions or hear from other centres who may have questions of their own.

Dates for the external assessments can be found in the Pearson exam timetables for the relevant assessment series. Also, key dates and guidance for Quality Assurance activities can be found the quality support page.

Our Level 2 Skills qualifications in Art and Design Skills and Creative Media Skills have been extended in England and Northern Ireland. 

The last registration date is now 31 July 2027. The last certification date is 31 July 2029.

All of the BTEC centre guides to quality assurance have now been published for 2024-2025, including the most recently published Guide to Standards Verification.

Whether you're new to delivering Higher Nationals or already offer our qualifications, this page outlines the processes and helpful resources to get you started.

With our quality assurance process for all BTEC higher-level programmes we can be sure our centres are meeting national standards.  

Our enhanced quality assurance (QA) processes are in place for all Pearson BTEC Higher National qualifications. The enhanced processes embed specific higher education expectations alongside Pearson’s QA expectations for its other BTEC qualifications. This enables us to work with approved centres to ensure that our qualifications are delivered to the required, UK Higher Education, national standards. 

We have now published exemplification materials for the T Level qualifications.

Here are some helpful resources to help you plan this school year, including new support materials that have been recently added!
