Marking Windows
Some of our qualifications have a form of external assessment. For qualifications that have multiple-choice questions (MCQ) as their assessment, results will be issued 10 working days after the date of assessment (the results released date will be affected if candidate answer sheets are returned late).
For qualifications that have one of the following forms of assessment, the results will be released according to the marking window:
- Short Answer Questions (SAQ)
- Case Study
- Assignment
- Task based.
The cut off date is the final date that you can return the assessment in order to ensure results are released on the specified date.
All scripts must be returned within 1 working day of the assessment taking place. We'll store all scripts securely until the marking window cut off date and issue results in 25 working days after the cut off date.
For more information contact NCFE's Quality Assurance team on 0191 239 8000 or e-mail externalqualityassurance@ncfe.org.uk.
The Regulations for the Conduct of External Assessment must be adhered to.
