Assessment regulations, external assessment timetable and guides

Internal controlled assessment regulations

Our approved centres are required to adhere to specific regulations and guidance for qualifications with an internal controlled assessment component. This applies to Functional Skills and our newly-approved combined Level 1/2 Technical Awards. These qualifications currently have their own regulations.

External assessment regulations

Our approved centres are required to adhere to specific regulations for qualifications with an externally-assessed component (online and paper based) for all NCFE qualifications, including those which may be offered and/or delivered under an NCFE-owned brand name (such as CACHE).

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve aligned our Functional Skills external assessment regulations to the JCQ instructions for conducting Functional Skills assessments (English and Maths). The Functional Skills Supplementary Booking Document (English and maths)below outlines the NCFE specific requirements and flexibilities that are not covered within the JCQ instructions for conducting Functional Skills assessments (English and Maths).
