Access to Scripts Service | NCFE

What can we help you find?

Access to scripts service

This webpage should be read in conjunction with the JCQ Post Results Services Booklet. The Access to Scripts service is available for Model 5 VCert and T Level Qualifications only.

The access to scripts (ATS) service allows centres to request a copy of marked external assessment papers including marks awarded for each answer. This service includes a clerical check, to ensure that all marks or grades awarded to the learner(s) have been correctly recorded and processed. Student’s scores and grades may increase, decrease, or remain the same.

For T Level qualifications where evidence is digital – access to the evidence, along with a separate breakdown of marks for each task will be shared. Marks will not be visible on the actual evidence where a submission was made digitally.

For assessments completed online (Surpass), you will be provided with a secure URL link to review the marked script online.
