Dear Colleague,

Your BTEC Tech Award Pearson set assignments (PSAs) for the May/June 2026 series are now available to download from each Tech Award’s course materials page. 

We heard your feedback and back in March we announced that PSAs will now be released three months earlier, giving you more time to plan, prepare, mark and upload assessments. Read our initial announcement if you missed it.

You must issue the correct PSA to your learners for the series in which they are entered to sit. If you are entering students to sit internal components in the upcoming December/January series, they must use the PSAs that were released in June. You can find the newly released May/June 2026 series PSAs right alongside them, so make sure you download the correct PSA for the series your students are entered for. If in doubt, the series the PSA relates to is detailed on the cover.

The new PSAs are screen-reader compatible, so you don’t need to place modified paper orders for use with a screen reader. If you need any other modification for the December/January 2025/26 series PSAs, you can now place an order on Access Arrangements Online.

Please share this message with your BTEC Tech Award delivery teams and programme leads. If you have any questions or need help, reach out to us via the Pearson support portal.

Kind regards,

Strategic Lead - BTEC Product Applied
