Transfer of Achievement for Functional Skills English
Transfer of Achievement is the process through which learners can transfer achievement of individual Functional Skills English components between registrations held with different Awarding Organisations (AO), to allow them to complete the qualification.
It is available to individual learners who have not achieved an overall Functional Skills qualification in English, but who have achieved individual components within the qualification
This may be required because:
- a learner has moved Centre during the delivery of the qualification and their new Centre uses a different AO for Functional Skills
- a Centre has changed AO for the delivery of Functional Skills English during the delivery of the qualification for some learners
Evidence Requirements
Supporting evidence is required to support all Transfer of Achievement requests.
Evidence provided must clearly identify the learner, the component, the achievement, and be an official document generated from an AO. This could include:
- an AO certificate
- documentation generated from an AO system, such as a results slip
NCFE will not accept documents generated from a Centres internal student information management system as proof of achievement.
Unique Learner Number (ULN)
The Unique Learner Number (ULN) allocated to a candidate must be retained when transferring achievement between AOs.
Please Note
Certificates will not have any indication that a transfer of achievement has taken place and will simply state that the component is achieved.
No Special Considerations will be considered solely on the grounds of a Transfer of Achievement.
