Introduction  \nIn early March, we wrote to all centres that offer BTEC and other Pearson vocational qualifications to confirm the broad approaches that we would be using to issue grades this summer for learners expecting to complete one of our vocational qualifications. Our response has been determined by actions taken in the UK for regulated qualifications and from our intention to ensure fairness and equity in our response across our global certification.  \nWe confirmed that while teaching and learning should continue to be delivered, in recognition of the cancellation of exams and the impact on internal assessment, centres will use evidence across the breadth of the course to inform a Qualificationlevel Teacher Assessed Grade (‘Q-TAG’) .  \nWe promised to provide more information as soon as we could about how this will work for you and your learners. This document sets out initial guidance on the process teachers and centres will need to follow to submit these Q-TAGs to Pearson for certification. A deadline of 18th June 2021 is in place for those seeking to make university applications for 2021 entry, so that learners expecting to complete their BTEC this summer can receive a final grade in August. Outlined below are details of the process we have set out for determining a Q-TAG for each eligible learner, and for building and submitting the evidence to support this as part of the Quality Assurance process.  \nWe are also providing more detail on the following topics:  \n• List of qualifications within scope of this year’s arrangements for awarding  \n• Guidance for license-linked qualifications within these suites  \n• Mitigations for learners not due to certificate this summer (‘mid-flight’learners)  \nThis guidance will be updated when more detailed information is confirmed, and weare committed to giving you as much information as we can as soon as we are able to. Learners not certificating in August 2021 should continue to follow the  \nadaptations guidance.  \nPearson is working to ensure that learners receive their results and progress with confidence this year. In doing so, we have been mindful to make the process as simple as possible and give you guidance as soon as possible.  \nWe are committed to supporting you and your learne","cbCaiiK7rcUqFOXs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiK7rcUqFOXs","pdf",763286,26,"English","# Introduction\n## Arrangements for awarding results in 2021\n## Qualifications covered in this guidance\n## Qualifications not covered in this guidance\n## Qualification-Level Teacher Assessed Grade (Q-TAG)\n## Administrative steps for certificating learners (August 2021)\n## Equalities and Objectivity\n## Bias\n## Sharing Q-TAGs before results day\n## Consideration for Appeals\n## Quality Assurance Activities in 2021\n## Administrative steps for midflight learners\n## Appendix A - Glossary of Terms","[{\"question\":\"What is the Qualification-level Teacher Assessed Grade (Q-TAG) used for in 2021?\",\"answer\":\"Centres use evidence across the breadth of the course to inform a Qualification-level Teacher Assessed Grade (Q-TAG) when exams are cancelled or learners cannot complete all internal assessment.\"},{\"question\":\"What submission deadline is referenced for Q-TAGs and university applications?\",\"answer\":\"A deadline of 18th June 2021 is in place for those seeking to make university applications for 2021 entry, supporting learners to receive a final grade in August.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the guidance address fairness, equity, and decision quality?\",\"answer\":\"It outlines equalities and objectivity, includes bias considerations, supports appeals, and details Quality Assurance Activities in 2021 to ensure results are awarded fairly and consistently.\"}]","BTEC International qualifications - Awarding Results in 2021 - Guidance for certificating and non-certificating learners | PDF",1792465532,66]
