External assessed components (40% of the qualification) are set, marked, and awarded by Pearson. To award a qualification result, the following stages must be completed:  \nThe learner must be registered for the course.  \nAn entry is made for each internal component and their school must submit the grades for moderation.  \n| Key dates\u003Cbr>The diagram below shows an example of a learner completing a BTEC Tech Award (2022)1, the components making up the qualification, the support available and the key milestone dates: |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| \u003Cbr>Academic year 2024/25\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Internally assessed component 1\u003Cbr>December 2024\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Internally assessed component 2\u003Cbr>May 2025 | \u003Cbr>Academic year 2025/26\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Internally assessed component 2 Resit\u003Cbr>December 2025\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Internally assessed component 3\u003Cbr>May 2026\u003Cbr>|\n| Summer 2026 certification is requested by 5 July, and a qualification grade is calculated using the results marked. |  |\n\nQualification grades  \nA learner’s best results for their internally assessment components are used to award their qualification grade. Only the result from the externally assessed component, which is sat in the series in which certification is requested, is used to award their qualification grade. This is the case even if there is a better result from a previous series .  \n Learn more   \nTerminal rule and resits  \nThe terminal assessment rule requires learners to take the external assessment atthe end of their qualification (the series in which the learner certificates) . This means that learners must sit internal component assessments either prior to or in the same series as the external assessment to fulfil this terminal rule.  \nIf a learner chooses to retake an internal assessment in a series after they sat the terminal external assessment, they will also need to resit the external component to satisfy the terminal rule.  \nLearners are allowed one retake of each internal component, and one resit of the external assessment within the programme.  \n| | Term-time checkpoint deadlines and key dates\u003Cbr>This year we have worked in partnership with schools to meet three term-time checkpoint deadlines for these in scope qualifications . |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| \u003Cbr>Checkpoint 1 Cohort confirmation |  |  |\n|  30 January |  | This year we have worked in partnership with schools to meet three term-time checkpoint deadlines for these in scope qualifications . |\n| \u003Cbr>Checkpoint 2 Cohort reconfirmation |  |  |\n|  01 May |  | The latest date by which a final cohort confirmation is signed by schools and colleges following any changes, declaring which students should expect to review a result in August. |\n| \u003Cbr>Checkpoint 3 BTEC claiming deadline |  |  |\n|  05 July |  | The latest date by which schools and colleges should submit a full award claim and internally assessed grades to allow Pearson to issue results in August. |\n| Learn more\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Key date 1\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Tech Award certification claim deadline You must ","cbCaid7czlvKk9DI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid7czlvKk9DI","pdf",411556,"English","# Introduction to BTEC Tech Awards\n# How BTEC qualification grades are awarded\n## Terminal rules and resits\n## Term-time checkpoint deadlines and key dates\n# How we set grade boundaries\n# Appeals\n# Further support","[{\"question\":\"How are BTEC Tech Award (2022) qualification grades calculated?\",\"answer\":\"Qualification grades use learners’ best results for internally assessed components.
