Diploma awarding bodies
1. Diploma awarding bodies must not disclose constituent qualification results received for the Diploma award claim before the respective issue dates for the results of those qualifications.
2. Diploma awarding bodies must submit all Diploma results to the Diploma aggregation service according to agreed timelines.1
3. Diploma awarding bodies must reissue a Diploma result if the Diploma aggregation service has reaggregated constituent results and there is a change to the Diploma grade.
- The timelines for awarding are set out as part of the Ofqual-agreed arrangements for component and Diploma awarding bodies that underpin the regulation of the Diploma. Details of these arrangements are available on Ofqual’s website: www.ofqual.gov.uk. They are agreed by Ofqual with component and Diploma awarding bodies and take into account the requirements of the Diploma aggregation service. Timelines for data supplied to the Diploma aggregation service must also be in accordance with the agreed service levels and commercial terms for the service. Please also refer to 'Guidance on posting results to the Diploma aggregation service' available at www.qcda.gov.uk/das [↩]
