Dear colleague,
Your BTEC cohort declaration for summer 2026 is now open for you to complete anytime between now and 30 January 2026. As a quality nominee, you play a key role in ensuring the accuracy of BTEC learner registrations. |
Why it matters
This declaration helps us build a shared, accurate picture of the students expecting results in August 2026, meaning we can work together to make sure your students can receive their results on time. |
What do I need to do?
1. Log in to VQ Learner Tracker
You’re all set to get started. We can see you already have an account, so you can log straight in. |
Not ready to complete the declaration yet? That’s okay. You can let us know you’re working on it by selecting “View declaration” and pledging to complete it on time. |
2. Support your exams officer to review your summer 2026 cohort
Once you’re in, you’ll see we’ve already reviewed your registrations and added a “summer 2026” tag where students are likely to receive their qualification results in August.
Working closely with your exams officer, please check these summer tags, adding or removing them so we know exactly who’s in your summer 2026 cohort. There’s no need to update estimated completion dates, just adjust the tags.
Follow our guidance to add and remove summer tags |

3. Complete your cohort declaration
Once everything looks right, you can submit your declaration through the banner in VQ Learner Tracker. If you have head of centre authorisation, you or your exams officer can complete this step yourself. |
