Dear BTEC Learners,
I appreciate the last week will have been extremely challenging as you tried to understand the implications of the DfE and Ofqual guidance on the vocational exams you were due to sit this January. We know that for some of you it will have meant your school or college deciding exams would take place, while for others they were cancelled. We want you to know that since this guidance was issued, we have been consulting very closely with DfE and Ofqual to determine the safest and fairest route forward for you, whatever decision your college or school made.
