During this period, learners follow the non-supervised conditions.  \nSupervised conditions-In many cases theset tasks include a period during which learners write up the final version of their work ready for submission. During this period, learners follow the supervised conditions .  \nLevels of control  \nEach external assessment has a defined degree of control under which it must take place. Some external assessments may have more than one part and each part may have a different degree of control. We define degrees of control as follows.  \nHigh control-This is the completion of assessment in formal invigilated examination conditions.  \nMedium control-This is completion of assessment, usually over a longer period of time, which may include a period of controlled conditions. The controlled conditions may allow learners to access resources, prepared notes or the internet to help them complete the task.  \nLow control-These are activities completed without direct supervision. They may include research, preparation of materials and practice. The materials produced by learners under low control will not be directly assessed.  \nThere is no requirement for BTEC examinations to be held in an exam hall. You can use a classroom setting as long as the room is appropriately set up. Please see the  BTEC ICEA for further guidance.  \nMethods of dispatch  \n• Secure web release –these documents will be made available to exams staff on the date specified by Pearson in the timetable.  \n• Secure dispatch – these documents will be sent securely to the centre.  \nTimetabling  \nSet tasks and performance tasks will either have:  \n• A timetabled period during which the task must be completed  \n• a deadline for submission of work.  \nYou are free to decide when and how to complete the tasks within the particular parameters set for each relevant unit.  \nWhere this document references “centre-timetabled”, this indicates you must schedule time foryour learners within the Pearson timetabled window.  \nSummary of assessment conditions for BTEC external assessments  \n\n|  | Paper-based/Written and\u003Cbr>onscreen tests | Set tasks and performance tasks |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Control Type | Exam Conditions | Supervised Conditions | Non-supervised Conditions |\n| Authenticity | Learners complete all work under the direct supervision of an invigilator.\u003Cbr>Learners are within direct sight of the invigilator(s) throughout the assessment. | Learners complete work under direct supervision.
