Dear Colleague,

We are writing to you with some important information and support for new BTEC Tech Awards for first teach from September 2022. Please ensure all teaching staff have received this update.

Submission Deadline for Marks and Sampled Learner Work for the May/June assessment series


On 17th March, we wrote to all centres that have learners taking new 2022 Tech Awards assessments this summer to remind them of the option to request extensions, due to industrial action, which has reduced teaching and assessment time for the May series. We sympathise with all the pressures that learners and teachers are currently under and have been providing extensions based on these requests throughout the series.  

Some centres have contacted us to ask for further extensions due to further industrial action and additional Bank Holidays. We can confirm, we will accept all submissions of learner marks and work up to the 16th May without the need for extension requests. Your submissions of learner marks and work made by this date will be moderated in time for results day (23rd August for centres and 24th August for learners).

Many centres have been able to work to the initial deadlines or are currently working to the extended deadlines, and we have seen submission of marks and work from centres, which is greatly appreciated. We urge you to continue to submit marks and work as soon as they are ready wherever possible, to support a timely moderation process for your centre.    

If you are concerned that your centre will not be able to submit marks and learner work by 16th May, please contact us via the Pearson Support portal
Please note that special considerations may be requested for individual learners that are affected by circumstances beyond those covered by deadline extensions.

Mark submission and LWT are both accessed via Edexcel Online. Full guidance on submitting marks and learner work via LWT can be found on the Tech Awards 2022 Support Index
Kind Regards,
