This must be completed by the Head of Centre or Quality Nominee acting on their behalf.  \nIn previous years, the CSA has been completed as part of a wider annual quality declaration for all centres offering vocational qualifications with Pearson. As there is no wider annual quality declaration this year, the CSA is a standalone activity hosted in Pearson Progress.  \nTo make things easier for you, your CSA will be pre-populated with the data you entered into last year’s annual quality declaration. Please review and amend any pre-populated information to reflect this academic year before submitting your CSA.  \n*This is a fixed annual deadline for the main sections. If this falls on a weekend, centres may wish to consider the preceding working day, although submission will be accepted on the official deadline  \nAccess the Centre Self-Assessment  \nAll annual centre self-assessments will be subject to review by Pearson and will form part of your overall annual quality assurance.  \nDo I need to complete the Centre SelfAssessment?  \nIf you are a new centre delivering work-based learning qualifications, post September 2025 then you WILL NOT need to complete the Centre Self-Assessment as this will be completed prior to your centre approval.  \nIf you are delivering a programme that is listed as having an LSV assigned to your centre (as listed in Appendix A, Group A) you WILL need to complete the CSA. If you are delivering programmes(s) listed in Appendix B, Group B you WILL NOT need to complete the CSA.  \nHow to access the Centre SelfAssessment  \nTo access your Centre Self-Assessment, log in to the Pearson Progress platform using your Edexcel Online credentials:  \n[learninghubprogress.pearson.com/annual-centre-self-assessment/](learninghubprogress.pearson.com/annual-centre-self-assessment/)  \nOnce you've entered your Edexcel Online login details and clicked ‘Sign in’, you'll be prompted to enter a verification code, which you'll find in your Pearson Authenticator app. You need the Pearson Authenticator app to complete the sign in process, and you won't be able to access the site without entering a verification code. Need help setting up and using the app? See our  Pearson Portal Authenticator article.  \nIf you’re a Quality Nominee andyou don’t have an Edexcel Online account, you’ll need to ask your exams officer to create one for you. If you’re the Head of Centre andyou don’t have an account, you’ll need to contact us to create one for you.  \n* Screenshots are for example only *  \nYou should log in with your edexcel online credentials.
