Access to scripts service
The access to scripts (ATS) service allows centres to request a copy of marked external assessment papers including marks awarded for each answer.
March 2025 Update - You can now submit requests for access to scripts (ATS) from the results page in the NCFE Portal. Please see the Portal User Guide for more information.
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.
