Performance of awarding bodies for general qualifications: 2004 report
Last updated on: 08/04/2008
The regulators of external qualifications set performance expectations that awarding bodies must meet, and a code of practice that awarding bodies must follow. These ensure that learners and centres receive the highest levels of customer service and that examination standards are consistent over time.
This report details the performance in 2004 of the three awarding bodies based in England that offer GCSEs and A levels – AQA (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance), Edexcel and OCR (Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations).
This document was published by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA). The regulatory function of QCA is now the responsibility of the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator (Ofqual). Ofqual regulates qualifications and monitors national curriculum assessments in England.
