NCFE Undertaking (part 2)

NCFE Undertaking (part 2)

Details

On 11 October 2022, Ofqual accepted an Undertaking from NCFE under B8 of the General Conditions of Recognition (the Conditions). This followed significant issues that Ofqual had identified with NCFEs Core Examination papers in NCFEs Health and Science T Level route, which NCFE accepted were not fit for purpose as required under G9 of the Conditions.

The Undertaking required NCFE to comply with an action plan to review its TQ Core Examination papers and mark schemes before the autumn 2022 series and to provide assurance to Ofqual that those assessments would be delivered by NCFE in compliance with its Conditions of Recognition. Ofqual is reviewing NCFEs compliance with the terms of this Undertaking.

On 26 May 2023, NCFE agreed to provide a further Undertaking (part 2) to Ofqual under General Condition B8 in similar terms to the first undertaking, to provide assurance that its TQ assessments for the summer 2023 series will be delivered in compliance with NCFEs Conditions of Recognition. Ofqual continues to monitor NCFEs TQ delivery closely.
