Dear Colleague,

Thank you for completing your BTEC cohort declaration. We now have a shared view of your learners expecting results in august 2025, forming your summer 2025 cohort, and would like to share your next steps.

You can view any outstanding actions in the VQ Learner Tracker, where you’ll be able to see ahead of the deadline which learners require an external assessment entry.

The external assessment entry deadline for BTEC Tech Awards is 21 February. Please take extra care when making these entries via EDI because it is essential learner names are identical to those used in the registration file to avoid any delays in processing. If you do need to update a learner’s name, you should update the registration file before submitting an external assessment entry.

The entry deadline for BTEC Firsts, Nationals and Technicals is 21 March. Don’t forget, we also have some extended deadlines where learners are awaiting external assessment results for the winter series, and you can find these in our key dates timeline.

Please continue to monitor your learner registrations in the VQ Learner Tracker and update any changes to your summer cohort.

Where you have already added summer 2025 tags to learner registrations, we will change the estimated completion date for these learners to 5 July 2025 by the end of February.

If we identify learners whose estimated completion date has passed but who are not part of your summer cohort and have not yet been claimed, we will contact you to ensure they receive their results on time.

As you’ve now completed our first term-time checkpoint of 2024/25, we’d very much appreciate hearing from you about your experience.

You can complete this short form if you’d like to share any feedback with us.

If you have any questions or require further support, you can contact us through the Pearson support portal and we’ll be happy to help.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Kind regards,
