The BTEC National Award has been renamed the Subsidiary Diploma, and the National Certificate has been renamed the Diploma. For all intents and purposes they are the same thing.

Thanks for the reply. So thats cleared up. Because I am doing a subsidiary diploma in year 12 and im doing 2 BTECS does that mean will only get 2 grades at the end of this year so for example:
YEAR 12 IT = D* (EXAMPLE)
YEAR 12 APPLIED SCIENCE = D* (EXAMPLE)

And also when im in year 13 my subsidiary goes to national award yeah like you said in my previous post i think?
