Regulating post-16 VTQs at L2 and L3
F Certs and Occ Certs Assessment design (Retakes)
Retakes
Proposal
We do not propose to restrict retakes for students taking Foundation Certificates or Occupational Certificates. They will be permitted to retake an assessment in any series in which it is offered, although the number of assessment series overall each year will restrict, to some extent, how often students are likely to retake assessments. When retaking timetabled assessments, we propose that awarding organisations should be permitted to allow students to carry forward marks or results for centre-marked assessment already achieved. We propose that when retaking centre-marked assessments, students should be able to submit new evidence or submit a revised form of evidence previously submitted.
Our proposed Conditions FC7 and OC7 and associated requirements are set out in Annexes B and C.
