2020 Qualifications: NQ learner support
Wednesday 19 August 2020
We have provided schools, colleges and local authorities with a report confirming their candidates’ final grades based solely on school and college estimates, as directed by the Deputy First Minister on Tuesday 11 August. The results of those learners who were awarded a higher grade during the process will be maintained.
We have supplied UCAS with the results and these should be disseminated to universities and colleges on Thursday 20 August.
Revised certificates
Revised certificates will be with you on Tuesday 8 September.
Appeals
The Ministerial direction included an Appeals process, that is in place and due to conclude in early September. The outcome of Priority Appeals will be communicated to centres and UCAS by Friday 4 September. All other appeals will be communicated to centres by the end of September.
If you have any questions about your results, please speak to your school or college.
Foundation Apprenticeships
Because Foundation Apprenticeships blend classroom and workplace learning - COVID-19 restrictions have meant it has been difficult to complete the work-based elements and assessments.
