The VQ Bulletin is a consolidated briefing from Pearson, which contains all the key updates you need about our vocational qualifications. A summary of the latest news, and status of qualifications, with links to our web pages where you can find more detail, it's the easiest and most comprehensive and up-to-date source of what is happening for Pearson vocational qualifications
Welcome to our fifth edition of the Vocational Qualification Bulletin. We appreciate there have been numerous announcements over the past two weeks and hope you find that this is a useful consolidated update, containing the key information you need to be aware of. As you’ll know from the announcements, there are still several areas of detail to be confirmed and we will update you as soon as we have any further information.
We wanted to provide you with more information in response to our announcement last week that we will be activating the ‘Reduced Optional Unit Assessment’ mitigation, in consideration of the continued disruption to teaching and learning.
We have had time to listen to and read your questions as a result of our message last week, and we hope that this bulletin provides you with the clarity you need before the end of term.
This issue contains some very important BTEC updates across a number of different areas, so please do scroll through to ensure you don’t miss anything!
Thank you for your responses to the teaching and learning guidance we have created and shared with you. We understand that it may have been a challenge keeping track of all our communications, so we have consolidated all our updates into this VQ Bulletin which you will receive regularly from us, and which has all the important information you need to know.
Following feedback from schools and colleges about the volume of communication being received we have created a vocational qualifications bulletin covering some of the key aspects of assessment for 2020/2021.
If you'd like to find out the latest information about our general qualifications and see how we are supporting schools and colleges, teachers, learners, parents and carers for summer 2021, please visit our dedicated web page for further details.
