The official BTEC results discussion thread

Does anyone know what happens to all the BTEC Assignments ? Do BTEC themselves or the college keep it all, or are the students given all their work back to keep?

I think it depends, someone here said the college keep them but where I am all the students are to take their work back home. Not sure why a college would store work if it's of no use to them anymore.

I've just started at a new school as a teacher and I'm still removing coursework from 2003 from my new cupboards. Just to give you an idea of how bad that actually is - I'm 28 and I finished school in 2003. Logic has no place in the keeping of coursework. Only a teachers urge to hoard because it might be useful again in 20 years time.

Why would you want or need your coursework given back to you? I would have to assume all the work was done on a computer anyway. What about the original files?

I have a digital copy of all the coursework I've completed in the last three years, and it only amounts to about 5gb of data. I'd rather keep a hold of that, than a ton of paper.

Because we were told the college has no use or space to keep them, here we have to print our work out and hand it in, we are not allowed to hand in digital copies unless in emergency. Some work such as posters and storyboards we did by hand so there was no digital copy of those. Keeping our coursework/folders means we have the feedback forms which is nice to have, but main reason I imagine to take work home is to clear space in the college cabinet, our classes work took up the whole shelf.

Wait for a few days. I think for me it was 3 days between getting the certificate and track being updated. Your results have to get to ucas, then to your chosen uni, they need to decide on your application, then tell ucas before ucas can tell you. I would expect you could wait up to a week then try and find out whats happenend if your not told before then. But hope you get some news soon.

29th of June but I finished the work earlier, I think it depends on how quickly your college sends off exam forms.

That is very quick, I signed off 15th June and not heard anything yet about certificates.

Track updated 3 weeks ago for me and I still haven't received my certificate - should I be worried? Finished college on June 24th.
