In order to embed the timely delivery of vocational-technical qualification (VTQ) results in 2025 and beyond, Skills and Education Group Awards has released the dates below to ensure that students who need to progress to further or higher education are not disadvantaged.

These dates apply to Centres delivering the following qualifications:

Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Art Design and Media

To ensure that results are available in time for learners to progress, Skills and Education Group Awards will require Centres to meet the following dates:

28 February 2025 – The date by which Centres must have informed Skills and Education Group Awards of their Senior Designated Contact. This must be a senior member of staff with decision-making authority. This person must be available throughout the awarding period to ensure any queries can be resolved swiftly.

28 February 2025 – The date by which Centres must inform Skills and Education Group Awards of the specific learners that require a result in summer 2024.

28 February 2025 – Deadline for registration of all learners to be included in summer moderation. Note: late registrations will incur a late registration fee.

1 May 2025 – The date by which moderation/EQA visits must have been arranged.

30 June 2025 – The date by which all moderation/EQA activity must have taken place.

15 July 2025 – Final date by which claims must have been made on the ORS platform.

Skills and Education Group Awards will ensure that all learners are certificated no later than 11 August 2025, subject to the above key dates being met by Centres.

We will contact Centres directly where they have learners registered to one of the above qualifications.

Failure to meet the above key dates may result in Skills and Education Group Awards taking further action in line with our Malpractice and Maladministration Policy and our Sanctions Policy.
