Updates on Digital Functional Skills December 2023

We want to share some key upcoming dates for the new Digital Functional Skills, covering registrations, bookings, assessments, and results release.  

We’re now in a period of awarding for the new assessments and wanted to confirm when you can expect results for your learners. These dates have been chosen so we can ensure we have a large enough volume of learners at the point of awarding to provide us with enough evidence to set pass marks reliably. You can, of course, continue to deliver the qualification and book assessments when your learners are ready through the online and remotely invigilated (RI) methods, but please ensure you’re aware of the results release dates. These are summarised below: 

We’ll continue to monitor the volume of assessments and provide further communication on the dates that future assessment results will be released. Once we’ve completed the awarding process for this cohort, we plan to move to our market-leading six working day turnaround for results, to support timely progression for your learners. 

Further support 

To support your delivery of Digital Functional Skills qualifications, we have initial/diagnostic assessment tools, learning resources, teaching resources and subject specialist support.
