BTEC Tech Award Results for Health and Social Care
The final results are released to your centre on results day along with the final Moderator Report which will explain where it may have been necessary to adjust your centre’s marks and provide guidance for future assessment.
Accessing the Moderator report

Post Results
If you are unhappy with the results, you may request a Review of Moderation (RoM Service 3). You can find details of this service on our post results page.
Making a Claim for completed qualifications
You claim for certification by entering the cash-in code for the qualification, which you can find in our Information Manual. You can enter the cash-in to claim certification via Edexcel Online or EDI during the normal entry window for each series, or via Edexcel Online after the entry window closes, during the late certification window.
Options for student who sat the Component 3 Exam in January 2024
If a learner sits their terminal assessment in January and is happy with their result, the centre should claim certification immediately during the late certification window.
However, if a learner is not happy with their results and intends to resit, the following options are available.
Do not to claim certification based on the January sitting, and certificate based on the May resit. In this case, the final sitting will be used for the learner’s final qualification outcome, even if the previous sitting was higher. A learner cannot resit then choose to certificate using the previous sitting retrospectively. You should make the certification claim by entering the cash-in code at the same time as making the entry for the resit, as this will be the learner’s second and final external assessment attempt.
Claim certification based on the January result and then recertificate using the May/June resit result. If both the January and May sittings of the external assessment are used for certification, the learner is permitted to hold both certificates and use the highest result for their own progression purposes. However, it is the learner’s first certification that will count towards performance tables for the centre.
The FAQs have lots of really good clear information about making claims.

External Assessment
The Lead Examiner's report for each externally assessed unit will be published online on results day. You can find the results for externally assessed units for your cohorts via Edexcel Online. You will be able to see the grades, raw marks and UMS points score. This will allow you to see how the overall grade was calculated.

Access to Scripts
After the results are published in March, centres will be able to view and download scripts which have been marked online free of charge from our self-service portal via Edexcel Online.
Customers should save and/or print any scripts they need for teaching and learning purposes before the deadline. Scripts do not have examiner annotation on them. The marked script allows teachers to evaluate how the student performed on particular questions in relation to what they have been taught; the Lead Examiner's report and the exemplars that we make available demonstrate how the mark scheme is applied.If scripts have been marked "traditionally" (i.e. not online), centres will have to request them via the Post Results section of Edexcel Online as in previous exam series. These scripts will also be free of charge, but the final dates to request them are the same as the published JCQ Access to Scripts deadlines.
