Reduced unit assessment guidance

Back to top

Introduction

We encourage you to continue assessing your learners, even if this is partial

assessments of units whilst centres are closed. We expect teaching to continue

remotely, where possible.

There are two types of reduced internal assessment adaptations that are available:

• Reduced unit assessment - the number of internally assessed units that need

to be assessed is reduced, these could be mandatory or optional. This is

available for most qualifications in the BTEC Nationals (QCF and RQF), BTEC Level

2 Skills and the BTEC Firsts suites.

• In-unit adaptation – the amount of assessment evidence needed to meet

criteria within an internally assessed unit have been reduced. This is available for

the BTEC Tech Awards, and guidance on these can be found here.

Reduced Internal Unit Assessment

This guide provides specific qualification information on the Reduced Internal Unit

Assessments adaptation, which will be applied to most qualifications in the following

BTEC Qualification Suites:

• BTEC Nationals QCF and RQF

• BTEC Firsts and Level 2 Skills

• BTEC Foundation Learning (Entry Level and Level 1)

The following tables demonstrates the overarching reduced assessments available,

please refer to individual qualifications, further in this guide, for more detail.

BTEC QCF Entry Level and Level 1

The following adaptations do not apply to Licence to Practice qualifications and those in

the Construction sector:

Qualification size Reduced Internal Assessment for learners

certificating 2021 and for learners who registered in

September 2020 and certificating in 2022.

Up to 119 GLH No adaptation

120 GLH – 299 GLH 30 GLH / 3 credits

300 GLH and above 60 GLH / 6 credits

Please note that some qualifications will not have reduced internal assessments

because they have one or more of the following characteristics:

• The qualification is made up of two units

• The qualification is a licence to practice

• To ensure parity between QCF and RQF qualifications of the same size receive

the same level of adaptation.

• In-unit adaptation that has already applied

The Reduced Internal Assessment will apply to learners certificating in Summer

2021, and learners who registered in September 2020, and who will be

certificating in Summer 2022.

We will be issuing administration guidance and support on how to “claim” this reduced

assessment in the coming weeks, if you have learners due to certificate in advance of

the summer results period, who require the reduction of internal assessment, please

contact us.

The following principles apply to all learners:

• All content must be taught.

• Centres should continue to bank units through the ‘interim’ claims function

throughout the academic year.

• Units where reduced assessment is applied; teaching and learning should take

place where possible under the current circumstances.

Reduced unit assessment guidance

Back to top

• Centres will need to reflect on learner's progression requirements, when

choosing which units to apply reduced assessment, to ensure learners can

confidently progress to Higher Education or to work.

• Centres will need to declare which units have been taught but not assessed

(further administration guidance to follow)

• The unit/s that are taught but not assessed must be on the centre's assessment

plan for 2020/2021 academic year

• Centres can choose to assess all units, and not use the reduced internal

assessment option if they are able to assess all content

• Pearson will issue an overall grade for learners that are certificating, (further

details to follow)
