These interactive charts and tables show the grade distributions of level 3 Vocational and Technical Performance Table Qualifications (PTQs).
The PTQ types included here are:
- applied generals
- tech levels
To use this interactive visualisation, make selections via the dropdown boxes. The options presented within each dropdown are dependent upon selections made in the other boxes. For example, if you select 'applied generals' in the PTQ type dropdown, then only grading structures with grades for applied generals will be shown in the grading structure dropdown.
The time period option allows you to select between qualification grades awarded between 1 March and 31 August in each year (including provisional grades) and qualification grades awarded in the academic year (including updated grades where applicable). This means that the picture of grades might look different at different points in the year. The whole academic year data is not collected until the autumn and will be included when available.
All data prior to the 2021 to 2022 academic year was collected retrospectively and therefore caution must be used when interpreting these figures.
Comparisons across different qualification types may not be meaningful, as they may have very different purposes, qualification/assessment structures, and different cohorts of learners.
As the regulator of qualifications in England, we are using this visualisation to provide an overall picture of grades being issued, as opposed to specific qualification detail.
