Updated assessment timetable for 2024-25
Updated on [17/09/2024]
We’ve updated our assessment timetable for all CACHE and V Cert qualifications with an assessment for 2024-25 and 2025-26. Follow this link to view the timetable and supporting documentation.
Since the consultation period, we’ve:
- amended the name of this document from ‘external assessment timetable’ to ‘assessment timetable’ to include key dates relating to the non-examined assessment (NEA) component of our V Cert qualifications
- changed dates of some of our V Cert assessments to avoid clashes with GCSE exams.
The qualifications that have been impacted by this change are listed below:

Next steps
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be communicating key dates, further guidance materials and FAQs to support the transition.
We’ll be working with both platforms to transfer data to enable end-point assessment activities to continue as planned. We would like to reassure you that the transition will be smooth and have minimal impact on your business, and you’ll be supported every step of the way.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact NCFE EPA Relationship team via [email protected] or Active IQ Apprenticeship team via [email protected].
