Moderation
Administration Support
We’d like to remind you that administrative training is available on our Moderation webpage. This training provides guidance on the administrative responsibilities required for moderation and supports accurate and efficient completion of tasks.
Please ensure the following key points are adhered to:
Evidence upload limits
Be mindful of file size limits when uploading evidence. Files must meet the specified requirements to avoid any issues. Helpful guidance is available under the uploading evidence banner on the moderation webpage.
Evidence labelling
Please keep in mind that:
- all evidence must be clearly labelled, including the corresponding task number in the document title (e.g. Task 3), to ensure clarity during moderation
- all files must include both the student’s name and the name of the task(s)
- student names on submitted evidence must match the name used at registration with NCFE
- any reasonable adjustments must be clearly recorded on the evidence upload checklist to support moderation activities.

DfE list of higher education providers that accept T Levels for entry
The Department for Education has published the latest list of higher education providers that accept T Levels as part of their entry requirements and have confirmed that they will consider T Levels for at least one course.
This is a useful link for students, parents and careers teams when discussing progression options, although it is still advised to check directly with individual universities regarding specific grade requirements for particular courses.

Updates for exams officers
Special considerations and reasonable adjustments
We would like to remind you that students may be eligible for a special consideration if they are disadvantaged at the time of an assessment due to reasons outside of their control.
Please review the JCQ guide to the Special Consideration process for further clarification around on eligibility.
Request for special consideration must be submitted via the NCFE website.
For any students who have had a reasonable adjustment applied, this must be clearly recorded on the evidence upload checklist which is available in the assessment materials pack. This ensures that adjustments are appropriately documented and taken into account during moderation.
