  5. Who’s who in BTEC?

  6. How a BTEC is graded… • Pass (D Grade) • Merit (B Grade) • Distinction (A Grade) • Distinction* (A* Grade) • A Subsidiary Diploma or and Extended Certificate is the equivalent to 1 A- Level • A Diploma is the equivalent to 2 A- Levels

  7. External Assessment… • For the NQF qualifications: • Externally assessed units of work: exam and a controlled assessment element • All external assessments are unit 1. • All controlled assessments are unit 2.

  8. What the new external assessment means for you… • Students must gain a minimum of a “pass” level on the externally assessed units of work to be able to complete their course to receive a grade. • This is positive for BTEC courses as many employers and universities see BTECs are providing a wider range of transferable skills.

  9. What the course work element means for you… • Students must ensure they meet deadlines • Deadlines are monitored through curriculum plans that are submitted to the exam board, so failure to meet deadlines can result in “capping” grades • Formative assessments have been introduced, ensure these are completed to the highest standard • Work can be marked once – resubmissions are allowed, if authorised
