Dear Colleague,

In January the DfE published the provisional list of qualifications overlapping with T Levels in wave 4, and awarding organisations had the opportunity to appeal these decisions.

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully appealed the defunding of the following qualifications:  

This means that the above qualifications will continue to be available for funding until at least 31 July 2026.  The DfE will update their funding information in the coming weeks to reflect this announcement.

Funding for the following two qualifications is being considered as part of the DfE’s focused review which will conclude in December, at which point it will be confirmed if funding will be extended beyond the current funding end date of 31 July 2025.  

Funding guidance for all BTEC Level 3 Nationals in England can be found in the updated Funding guide | BTEC Level 3 Nationals 16-19 year olds in England.
