BTec delays: Exam board Pearson apologies to students waiting for results
An exam board has apologised after some BTec students did not receive their results as expected last Thursday, throwing university places into doubt.Hundreds of thousands of students received their A-level, BTec and T-level results this week.James, 18, from Sheffield, did a BTec in uniformed public services at Sheffield College."I was told I would hopefully get them by the end of the day but nothing came - it's been really stressful," he said.
James, who applied to study law and criminology at Sheffield Hallam University, still does not know if he has secured a place. BTecs - Business and Technology Education Council qualifications - and Cambridge Technicals are vocational courses which are largely assessed through practical learning, with written exams accounting for just a small element of the final mark.Pearson has not said how many students are waiting, but that it is a "very small percentage".
