If you're a new Quality Nominee or just need a quick update on the quality assurance cycle for your BTEC Level 2 and 3 qualifications this academic year, check out our short video.
Lead IV Registration and Standardisation Update
From September 2024, centres delivering qualifications covered by BTEC quality assurance are no longer required to register a Lead Internal Verifier on Edexcel Online or confirm standardisation has taken place by ticking the box. Centres should keep internal records of who holds the Lead IV role and centre standardisation materials can be located on each qualification’s webpage in the Course Materials – Internal Assessments section. Materials are available from 1 September and should be completed prior to formal assessment commencing.
