We're now at the end of the certification period for Delivery of Results 2024/25. All learners requiring results in August have now been certificated.
If you have any outstanding learners or learners who were not included in Delivery of Results (DoR) who still require a result, please contact your centre allocated External Verifier.
Ensuring the Timely Delivery of Results for 2024/2025
Building on the successes of the 2023 VTQ Results Action Plan and the Delivery of Results activity in 2024, Ofqual have confirmed that the same process will be followed for the 2024/2025 academic year and beyond.
These arrangements ensure that learners expected to progress to further or higher education by completing a Level 3, Level 1/2 and/or Level 2 VTQs are issued their results on or before A level/Level 3 results day and GCSE/Level 2 results day, as appropriate where the learners need to use their results to progress to further or higher education.
All centres who deliver the following qualifications will be expected to participate in the full Delivery of Results process.
Checkpoint Activity (31st March - 30th April)
The deadline for this activity has now passed, however we still have a number of centres who have learners in scope but have not completed the checkpoint activity and returned our checkpoint form.
This MUST be completed as a matter of urgency; completion and submission of this information is an Ofqual regulatory requirement.
You must also advise us as a matter of urgency if you have any learners who are not registered, and if any learners are no longer on programme and need to be withdrawn.

Key actions for centres to ensure timely results in 2025
It is vital that your data is accurate and that the correct status is recorded for learners expecting a result for the 2024/2025 academic year within current and future registrations.
Registrations
As part of our registration process, we now require you to indicate (at the point of registration) if a learner is likely to require their result to progress to further or higher education in August at the end of the current academic year (August 2025).
Reviewing Accurate Status’
Within Parnassus you should run the on-demand report titled: ‘Registrations in Progress for Eligible HE Qualifications’ regularly which will keep track of learner statuses. This will ensure that the data recorded is accurate.
Run the report by:
- Opening the reporting tab on Parnassus
- Select the ‘Registrations in progress for eligible HE qualifications’ report and populate the following sections:
- Qualification id – leave as all (this will ensure all in-scope qualifications which you deliver are included)
- Registration from – either 01/08/2023 (if you are running a two-year programme) or 01/08/2024 (if you are running a 1-year programme)
- View report
- This will then generate a report which will show you all learners registered on in-scope qualifications and their progression status, including:
- Registration date
- Learner first name
- Learner surname
- Learner date of birth
- Qualification
- Progression status
- Unknown
- Yes – the learner requires their result for progression in August
- No – the learner does not require their result for progression in August
If a learner changes their status at any point within the year then their progression status with Active IQ will also need to be updated. Please contact our Customer Experience team immediately to advise of any changes.
