Updating our rules and guidance for project qualifications

We’re consulting on revised rules and guidance for project qualifications, which would replace existing regulations.

We are also consulting on withdrawing our rules for principal learning and Diploma qualifications. Taken together, these proposals mean we will withdraw all our current rules and guidance for principal learning, project and Diploma qualifications.

Our proposed new rules for project qualifications:

• incorporate the parts of our existing rules we still need, while removing those that are no longer necessary
• implement the approach to reviews and appeals we have introduced for GCSEs, AS and A levels
• replace existing rules for awarding and grading, again in line with the approach we have taken at GCSE, AS and A level
