Here’s what to expect for T Level results this summer, so you can plan ahead for results days. 

We’ll send TQ component results for the core component (core exams and employer-set project) and the occupational specialism to your exams officer via Edexcel Online on 12 August 2026

These will include a statement of results for each student and a broadsheet covering all your students across all TQ components. Results are embargoed until 13 August 2026, when you can share them with students. 

The Department for Education (DfE) uses these component results, alongside industry placement completion, to issue overall T Level results through the Manage T Level Results service. They'll issue certificates and statements of achievement and report grades to UCAS.

If you have any questions about the Manage T Level Results service, email: tlevel.resultsandcertification@education.gov.uk. 

You can now download the guide standard exemplification materials for the employer-set projects and occupational specialisms from each of the Digital course materials pages. We’ll also have the additional specimen assessment materials for all Digital T Levels available soon, so keep an eye on the website for updates.

A Partial Achievement is where a student completes their industrial placement and passes either the Core or Occupational Specialism components but not both. 

Does the Student get a Grade or Certificate? 

No, the student doesn’t get a certificate but gets a Partial Pass on their statement of results 

So what do they get? 

They get UCAS points based upon the grade they achieve in the component they passed

The tables here show the UCAS points that go with the result for a grade in either Core or Occupational Specialism the final column, where possible,  is an approximate A level equivalent
