See all info on key datesHow will students get their BTEC results?
Check if you need to collect your results in person, or if they’ll be emailed or sent to you by post. Do this before you break up for the summer holidays, so you’ve got peace of mind.
What happens once you get your BTEC results?
Level 1 and Level 2 BTEC results
Passing these is likely to give you the entry requirements for the next level of BTEC course. Do check, though, because some Level 3+ BTECs might need merit or distinction grades, not purely passes. If you’re not sure, have a chat with your tutor about your options.
Level 3 BTEC results
Remember: your BTEC Level 3 results are a great alternative to A Levels, a more academic qualification. You may even be combining your BTEC with other Level 3 qualifications like BTECs. Your Level 3 BTEC results open all kinds of doors, from apprenticeships to university. Since BTEC results come with pass / merit / distinction grades, you can count up your UCAS points to see if you meet the entry requirements for your uni course of choice if this is your chosen nextstep.
Once you get your level 3 BTEC results, your examining board will start releasing them to UCAS between July and August. UCAS will then match them to your application and let any universities you’ve been offered places with know your results.
You may get your results before your chosen university does – if this is the case, get in touch with your university directly. It will help them speed up the confirmation of your results, and you can then say ‘yes’ to your uni course of choice that little bit more quickly!
Pearson are very aware that you may need extra support in the run-up to and on Results Day, and they want to ensure you are aware of where to find information and how to contact them should you need to. The best starting point is this FAQ page built especially for BTEC students, which will be regularly updated in the run-up to Results Day.

It’s also a great idea to phone and chat with the university tutors to chat through what’s involved in the course.
What if your BTEC results aren’t quite enough to get you an unconditional university offer?
We recommend that you contact your preferred university in the first instance, even if you have not met their offer, as they may still decide to accept you.
Just as in other years it will be possible to apply for another course/university through Clearing via the UCAS Clearing website. You can find out more about the clearing process here.
