/ Entry Level Introductory Suite  \n• BTEC Level 1/2 Firsts  \n• BTEC 2010 Level 3 Nationals, Level 2, Level 1, and Entry Level  \n• New Pearson BTEC International Level 3, Level 2 Applied Science qualifications 2020 and Level 2 Art and Design qualifications 2021  \nIt does not cover:  \n• BTEC Entry Level (legacy programmes)  \n• BTEC Level 1 (legacy ungraded programmes)  \n• BTEC Specialist programmes from Entry to Level 3  \n• BTEC PSD, Workskills and Skilled for Life  \n• BTEC Higher Nationals (Level 4-7)  \nPlanning for Assessment  \nMaking time for planning is the best way of ensuring everything is in place for robust assessment.  \nAssessment Plans  \nThe assessment plan is a working document and as such may need to be changed during the year. The use of version numbers will create a clear audit trail if this happens. Robust assessment plans should be developed jointly by the programme team and be verified by the Lead Internal Verifier who should ensure that the units chosen meet the rules of combination for that specific programme.  \nAs a minimum requirement, the assessment plan should include:  \n• names of all Assessors and Internal Verifiers  \n• scheduling for assignment hand-out dates; including Pearson Set Assignments for new Pearson BTEC International Level 3 and Level 2 Applied Science qualifications 2020 and Level 2 Art and Design qualifications 2021  \n• deadlines for assessments  \n• scheduling for internal verification  \n• scheduling of the opportunity for resubmission  \nIn designing the assessment plan, the splitting of Learning Aims/Objectives across assignments and/or the provision for extra assignments or tasks to meet the Merit or Distinction criteria is not permitted. Tasks must be written to allow the opportunity for the full achievement of Pass, Merit and Distinction criteria within each learning aim.  \nA BTEC qualification is comprised of individual units that cover specific topics. Both a unitby-unit approach and an integrated approach are valid and appropriate delivery methods. If deciding to deliver through an integrated approach, it is important to map the assessment of evidence against assessment criteria across units and maintain accurate records of learner achievement for each unit.  \nIt is also imp","cbCaii9Kr5kxqmiP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii9Kr5kxqmiP","pdf",543550,45,"English","# Which Qualifications does this Guide Cover?\n# Planning for Assessment\n## Assessment Plans\n## Planning Internal Verification\n# Assessment and Grading\n## Reasonable Adjustments for Internal Assessment\n## Submission of Evidence\n## Authenticity and Authentication\n## Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use in Assessments\n## Preventing Malpractice\n## Assessing the Learner Work\n## Assessment Tracking and Recording\n# Pearson Set Assignments (PSAs)\n# Opportunities for Resubmission of Evidence\n## Procedure for Resubmission of Evidence\n# Retakes/Re-sit\n## Opportunity for a Retake\n# Feedback Stages\n# Eligibility for an Award\n# Learner Appeals and Malpractice\n# Retention of Learner Evidence and Assessment Documentation\n# BTEC Qualification Specification\n# Forms and Templates","[{\"question\":\"Which BTEC qualifications does the guide cover for internal assessment planning?\",\"answer\":\"The guide covers essential information for BTEC programme teams on internal assessment planning for multiple BTEC qualifications, including BTEC Level 1/Entry Level Introductory Suite and newer Pearson BTEC International Level 3 and Level 2 applied science and Level 2 art and design qualifications mentioned in the document.\"},{\"question\":\"What must an assessment plan include as a minimum requirement?\",\"answer\":\"An assessment plan should include names of Assessors and Internal Verifiers, scheduling for assignment hand-out dates (including Pearson Set Assignments for the specified qualifications), assessment deadlines, scheduling for internal verification, and the scheduling for the opportunity for resubmission.\"},{\"question\":\"How are authenticity and AI use addressed in internal assessments?\",\"answer\":\"The guide includes sections on submission of evidence, authenticity and authentication, and an explicit section on Artificial Intelligence (AI) use in assessments, alongside measures for preventing malpractice.\"}]","BTEC International Centre Guide to Internal Assessment 2025-2026 | PDF",1792469130,113]
