Introduction
This article explains the different qualification codes that are available for selection when you are matching an unapproved qualification in the KS5 Matching page. Additionally, it describes how a qualification is handled in reports (based on the Qual Title option it has been matched to) when conducting internal analysis of your data.
Unapproved qualification options
To ensure your unapproved qualification count towards points-based internal analysis in the reports, such as Average Points, use one of the following Qual Titles when completing it in the KS5 Matching page:
| Unapproved A Level Qualification | For unapproved Level 3 qualifications of that type, using a L3 grading structure. These qualifications appear in the Level 3 performance level in the reports and count towards the associated Qualification Type filters. |
| Unapproved Academic Qualification | |
| Unapproved Applied General Qualification | |
| Unapproved Tech Level Qualification | |
| Unapproved Graded Tech Cert Qualification | For unapproved Level 1/2 Technical Certificate qualifications, using a L2 grading structure. These qualifications appear in the Tech Cert performance level in the reports |
| Unapproved Pass/Fail Tech Cert Qualification | For unapproved Level 1/2 Technical Certificates using a L2 Pass/Fail grading structure. These qualifications appear in the Tech Cert performance level in the reports. |
| Unapproved GCSE/Other Qualification | For unapproved GCSE or other qualifications, using an Entry Level, L1 or L2 grading structure. These qualifications appear in the GCSE / Other performance level in the reports. |
| Unapproved L3 Qualification | For unapproved Level 3 qualifications, using a L3 grading structure. These qualifications will appear in the Level 3 performance level in the reports, but would not be included when using the Qualification Type filter in the reports. |
To exclude your unapproved qualification from points-based analysis in the reports, for example if this hasn’t been reported on by the DfE and you have set up a similar grading structure for this or selected a different size, use:
| Unapproved L3 Qualification (No Points) |
Accepts any grading structure. These will count towards the Not Included column in the Grade Analysis > Grade Summary report view when selecting an alternative Display Grades As option other than Actual Grades, allowing for grades-based analysis only. They would also be excluded from the DfE Equivalent, L2 Tech Cert and Challenge Points Bands columns in the Grade List view.
