Ofqual
Ofqual has worked with awarding organisations to compile the following information on key dates and deadlines for vocational and technical qualifications (VTQ) in 2023.
This VTQ Information Hub is most relevant to school and college staff working in the administration or delivery of Level 3 technical qualifications used for progression to further study. It will help you prepare for the awarding organisation checkpoints that have been introduced ahead of 2023 awarding.
Information is arranged by awarding organisation and then by qualification. You can download the combined data for all awarding organisations, or for each individual organisation.
