BTEC Nationals from 2025 (AAQs): Internal Verification of Assignment Brief
|
The BTEC Nationals from 2025 (AAQs) are assessed via Pearson Set Assignment Briefs (PSABs). These are produced by Pearson with no adaptations allowed, except for hand out and hand in dates Consequently, completion of Internal Verification assignment brief is not required for these qualifications.
It remains good practice to review the hand-out and hand-in dates to ensure they are appropriate. Additionally, each Pearson set assignment brief (PSAB) version selected from the available bank should be documented within the assessment plan.
For further guidance on this process, please consult the Centre Guide Quality Assurance Level 3 BTEC Nationals from 2025 (AAQs).
