JCQ formats – versions 11 and 12
We are pleased to be able to offer all EDI centres the opportunity to use JCQ versions 11 and 12 in the 2009 - 2010 academic year.
Principal Learning, functional skills, Projects Level 1 and 2 and Extended Projects
These Edexcel qualifications remain available for administration via the latest version (only) of the JCQ EDI format. Principal Learning qualifications require registration (board code 13) before test or portfolio entries.
JCQ format support for Edexcel Skills for Life
We are pleased to be able to continue to offer all EDI centres the opportunity to make key skills registrations and entries in the familiar JCQ format (as used for GCE and GCSE).
BTEC
If your centre’s software package does not support the EDIFACT formats, you may use the JCQ formats to register learners for BTEC qualifications. JCQ formats do not support individual unit or NVQ programme registrations.
The JCQ format is only suitable for registration of candidates on programmes that follow the academic year (ie enrolment in September and completion in June). As the format does not allow for a planned completion date, we will enter a default completion date based on the normal duration of the programme.
If the default date that we use is incorrect, you will have an opportunity to correct this when we send you the registration listing to confirm that the registration has been processed.
Following the initial registration of candidates, you can send an amendment file to amend a learner’s personal details, transfer the learner to another qualification or add a registration.
BTEC EDIFACT and JCQ basedata
BTEC EDI basedata is available through Edexcel Online.
BTEC EDIFACT results files
Currently, we only issue results files to those centres that have reported results to us by EDI. We are developing a facility, through Edexcel Online, which will allow all centres to download results files. We will contact all EDIFACT centres when this facility is available.
Basedata for key skills and ALAN – onscreen tests
As onscreen tests are not exam-session specific, we cannot produce basedata or EDI results files for centres. We are looking at ways to improve this service for you.
