Gateway Qualifications is committed to issuing results and certificates as soon as possible following a successful claim from a Centre.
However, we recognise that in specific circumstances, such as learners awaiting results for GCSEs, A levels and Vocational and Technical Qualifications (VTQs), learners will need results before a specific time to ensure progression to further or higher education the following academic year.
In 2022 Ofqual (the regulator for qualifications, examinations and assessments in England) set out actions to support the safe and timely delivery of awarding organisations’ (AOs’) results. Due to the successful delivery of Level 3 results of VTQs in 2023, Ofqual has set out measures to embed timely delivery of results in 2024 and beyond.

Video Guides
We have produced some short video guides to help you complete the following key actions:
- Set a leaner destination – this can be done in MyQuartz and helps us identify those learners who will need a result alongside GCSE and A Level students in order to progress to HE or another FE course. Watch our Setting a Learner Destination video guide for detailed instructions.
- Update your Senior Designated Contact – this can also be done in MyQuartz and ensures we have the contact details of the most relevant person close to exams and assessments who is used to being a point of escalation. Our Using Contact Management video guide will provide more guidance.
Claiming results
Notwithstanding the process above, you should continue to claim results for learners in the usual way.
