VQ Bulletin - Issue 46
Welcome to the latest issue of the VQ Bulletin.
Welcome to Issue 46 of the VQ Bulletin. We are getting closer to the end of summer assessment period, with the final timetabled BTEC examination having taken place last week. We know GCSE, A Level and T Level assessments will also finish shortly, so we hope you will be looking forward to the summer break. We are planning to send one more VQ Bulletin before the end of term, with some special editions in the run up to results week(s) in August.
This edition continues to focus on supporting you to make sure your Level 1/2 BTEC Firsts, Tech Awards, Level 2 BTEC Technicals and Level 3 BTEC Nationals Results Day(s) in August run smoothly. We have added a 'Getting ready for BTEC Results' summary video to our reminders, and we also recommend reviewing our support for eligibility processes.
Although we know it continues to be a busy time, we are looking ahead as part of the Level 3 Vocational Qualification reform and we would like to invite you to join our research community to inform the next generation of BTEC Nationals. We want to prioritise the teacher and learner voice in our qualifications and support materials. If you are interested in participating, please complete this form, and we will be in contact shortly. Thank you to those that have already been in touch, your collaboration is vital and appreciated.
In addition, we would like to thank you for your continued support and for your feedback on the examination and tasks that are also running at this time. You can offer any feedback that you may have on our website.
Finally, where you have been allocated a Standards Verifier (SV), please ensure you send your samples to them as soon as possible (if you haven’t already) as the deadline for first samples has now passed. Late submission can impact on our ability to release results on time. If you are experiencing any issues with this, please let your SV know.
Yours sincerely,
Jo Fowler
Assessment Director
