Calculation of the qualification grade
The final grade awarded for a qualification represents an aggregation of a learner’s
performance across the qualification. As the qualification grade is an aggregate of the
total performance, there is some element of compensation in that
a higher performance
in some units may be balanced by a lower outcome in others.
In the event that a learner achieves more than the required number of optional units,
the mandatory units, along with the optional units with the highest grades, will be used
to calculate the overall result, subject to the eligibility requirements for that particular
qualification title.
BTEC International Level 3 qualifications are awarded at the grade ranges shown in the
table below.

The
Calculation of qualification grade
table, given later in this section,
shows the minimum
thresholds for calculating these grades. The table will be kept under review over the
lifetime of the qualification. In the event of any change, centres will be informed before
the start of teaching for the relevant cohort and an updated table will be issued on
our website.
Learners who do not meet the minimum requirements for a qualification grade to be
awarded will be recorded as Unclassified (U) and will not be certificated. They may
receive a Notification of Performance for individual units. The
International Information
Manual
gives full information.
