Where qualifications/courses require verification by Open Awards and have not gone through external quality assurance (EQA) prior to submitting results it is expected that Providers upload evidence for verification. In the event that samples are incomplete or where EQA decisions have not confirmed assessment decisions Open Awards will seek additional information from the Provider. Providers should note that where staff are not available to deal with outcomes of EQA where results cannot be verified it may delay results release beyond 14 August 2025.
