VTQ information hub 2024 to 2025: key dates and deadlines
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-23)

Information for Level 3, Level 1/2 and Level 2 vocational and technical qualifications used for progression and taken alongside or in place of A-levels and GCSEs.

Ofqual has worked with awarding organisations to compile the following information on key dates and deadlines for vocational and technical qualifications (VTQ) in 2025.

This VTQ Information Hub is most relevant to school and college staff working in the administration or delivery of Level 3, Level 1/2 and Level 2 vocational and technical qualifications used for progression. It will help you prepare for the awarding organisation key dates and deadlines ahead of awarding in summer 2025.

There are deadlines that awarding organisations need centres to meet to ensure the timely delivery of results in August. It is important that centres ensure internal activities take place early enough to ensure the awarding organisation deadlines are met.

Information is arranged by awarding organisation and then by qualification. You can download csv files of the combined data for all awarding organisations, or for each individual organisation. In addition, each awarding organisation has provided a link to a webpage with information about their qualifications and key dates.

We are interested in your feedback about the VTQ Information Hub. If you have any comments about the usefulness of the hub or if there is information that you would like to see included, please email this address: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx)

The VTQ Information Hub will be updated periodically to reflect changes made from awarding organisations regarding key dates.
