Important reminders

Complete your second term-time certification check by 26 May 

On Friday (12 May), we contacted you if you needed to complete the second term-time certification check. If you have learners registered on any qualifications that support with progression to further or higher education, have UCAS tariff points attached or feature in Level 3 performance tables, and you’re expecting these learners to certificate this summer, you need to complete this check. You can view the list of the qualifications that require a term-time certification check here.  

Please note that if you currently have no registrations on the qualifications in scope but intend to make registrations for learners who are expected to certificate this summer, you must do this as soon as possible and then complete the check. 

You can find more information on what action you need to take and instructions on our results webpage. Thank you to everyone who has completed your check so far.   

Key Dates Schedule 

We want to remind you that you can access the latest version of the T Level Technical Qualifications Key Dates Schedule 2022-23 and 2023-24 here. This document contains all the key dates and deadlines to support your T Level delivery for approval windows, pre-release materials, Occupational Specialisms and more.

Resources to help support exams officers in their roles from Ofqual  

Delivering exams and assessments is a tough job and one that requires all-year-round effort as well as managing particular challenges. Ofqual recognises the pivotal role of the exams officer in the smooth running of exams and assessments in schools, colleges and other exam centres.  

Ofqual has produced a range of resources to support exams officers in their important role, covering both GCSE and A level, T Level and vocational and technical qualification (VTQ) assessments which you can find here.  

Below, you’ll find the assessment dates for our CACHE, Functional Skills, T Level and V Cert qualifications for April 2023, and information on reasonable adjustments:
