Assessments for our qualifications should continue as planned in centres, if it is safe to do so.

For our VTQs which assess occupational or professional competence, such as our Certificate of Professional Competence for Transport Managers in Road Haulage and in Passenger Transport, exams and assessments are going ahead. 

We will be in touch with centres once the outcome of the Ofqual consultation 'VTQ Contingency Regulatory Framework' is confirmed to provide further details for our Vocational Qualifications. The consultation closed on 11 March and we will update the information below once the outcomes are available.
