Assessment arrangements for learners taking qualifications in the academic year 2022 to 2023 

The Department for Education (DfE) and Ofqual have confirmed the assessment arrangements in qualifications taking place in the academic year 2022 to 2023.

For vocational and technical qualifications a range of adaptations were permitted in the academic year 2021 to 2022. Awarding organisations decided which adaptations were appropriate for their qualifications in accordance with Ofqual’s Vocational and Technical Qualifications Contingency Regulatory Framework (VCRF).

Some adaptations were in response to public health restrictions. Given that public health restrictions are no longer in place, these adaptations are no longer necessary for the academic year 2022 to 2023 onwards.

This means that schools and colleges have the information they need to plan their teaching of the required content and for assessments to continue as set out in the scheme of assessment in the qualification specification documents. Therefore, any adaptations that were in place for 2021-2022 will no longer be available after 31 August 2022.

VTCT’s Performance Tables Qualifications are our Technical Award, Technical Certificates, Technical Level and Applied General qualifications. A list of the qualifications that fall into the PTQ category are listed here.
