We hope that our comprehensive FAQs and dedicated Awarding Results in 2021 web page answers any outstanding questions you have about how results have been awarded this year.
We aim to keep you informed in the run up to and throughout the results period. For the most up to date news and information please bookmark this page, keep informed by following @teachBTEC, where we will update you with the latest information, or access our FAQ page, which is updated frequently. You can also contact us with any queries or concerns. Our social media is monitored from 8am-4pm, Monday-Friday and we welcome, and will respond to, any suggestions or feedback you have for us.
Appeals process
Where BTEC results for summer 2021 are issued using Qualification level Teacher Assessed Grades, the grounds for appeal that are detailed in the JCQ A Guide to Appeals Processes, summer 2021, will apply. To supplement the JCQ A Guide to Appeals Processes, summer 2021, our BTEC Appeals Summer 2021 guidance provides a summary of the appeals process for summer 2021 and also provides information on where the BTEC appeals process will differ from the arrangements detailed in the JCQ document.
In addition, you can find more information in the Appeals process section of our dedicated Awarding Results in 2021 web page including our comprehensive Appeals overview.
Support for learners on Results Day
We are very aware that your learners may need extra support in the run-up to and on Results Day. We would be very grateful if you could ensure that your learners are aware of where to find information and how to contact us should they need to.
All the information relating to the appeals process, including timescales and deadlines can be found in the JCQ document: Guidance for students, parents and guardians: GCSEs and AS/A Levels in England Summer 2021.
There are some areas where the BTEC appeals process will differ from the arrangements detailed in the JCQ document. To make things as easy to understand as possible, we’ve put together Appeals guidance for BTEC students which details the BTEC appeals process, the timelines for the process, and also how to contact us should they have any questions.
Please also advise them that they can follow @BTECStudents or check our student webpage which are both updated regularly with the latest information. And, that if they have any specific questions for us, they can contact us, where live chat is also available, or phone us on 0345 618 0440. Phone lines will open at 8:30am on Results Days.

This week we have written a letter to all BTEC Level 3 National students completing this year about the assessment arrangements and the support available if they are considering going to university. We would be grateful if you give a copy of this letter to every student that is completing a BTEC Level 3 National this year.
If you have not already, you may wish to also provide students with accompanying information on the common sources of evidence that their Qualification-level Teacher Assessed Grade (Q-TAG) will be based on at your centre.
