Important change to mark submission for internally assessed and externally moderated work
12 February

Dear colleague,

Important change to mark submission for moderated work

From this summer, there’s an important change to how you submit marks and student work for GCSE, International GCSE, A Level, Project Qualifications, Entry Level Certificate and BTEC Tech Awards for internally assessed and externally moderated work. We’re sharing this now, so you have plenty of time to plan ahead.

What’s changing?

You’ll need to submit your centre marks before we release the list of students selected for the moderation sample.

Once you’ve made your entries, submit your centre marks through Edexcel Online. Learner Work Transfer opens on 13 April 2026. If your centre marks are submitted before this date, your moderation sample will be available in Learner Work Transfer from 13 April, and you can upload student work for moderation straight away.

If you submit your centre marks on or after 13 April, your moderation sample will appear in Learner Work Transfer within 6 hours.

What you need to do

The deadline for submitting the moderation sample remains 15 May. Please submit your marks as soon as you’re able to rather than waiting until the deadline, allowing enough time for you to upload your moderation sample.

We’ll be in touch with further guidance for specific subjects and sectors, including those with practical moderation requirements such as art and design, drama, performing arts, PE and sport.

We’re here to help

We know this is a change to the way you usually work, and we appreciate you adapting your timelines. We’ll continue to share reminders, FAQs and subject specific guidance as the deadline approaches.  

If you have any questions or need support with submitting centre marks or moderation samples, please contact us through the
Pearson support portal. Our team will be happy to help.

With best wishes
