Exam Results and Certificates

BTEC results - March 2025

BTEC January Exams Results Day – Thursday 20st March 2025

Students can view their exam results on the Learner Hub by clicking here. You will need to log in using your college email address and password.

On here, students can view their overall exam result, and UMS Points achieved in each exam. It will look like this:

BTEC January 2024 Results

If you’re viewing results on your phone, you may need to scroll across the page to view the UMS points. Do this by turning your phone onto the side so you’re viewing it in landscape mode or by pressing the red arrows at the bottom of the page:

Students can also review results via the CI Connect App if they have this, however, they cannot view their UMS points here. Results will be visible by 9am on Thursday 20th March.

There is an opportunity to re-sit these exams in the summer. If you receive a Fail or if you didn’t sit one of the papers then you will be automatically entered for a re-sit and you won’t need to take any action.

If you achieved a Near Pass, Pass or Merit and want to improve your grade, you MUST pay for the BTEC re-sit via our Online Store here. The deadline for payments is the end of the day (midnight) on Tuesday 25th March. If you are in receipt of a college bursary and would like to improve your grade, you will need to pay for the re-sit yourself by Tuesday 25th March as, unfortunately, the college bursary does not cover re-sit fees.

Post Result Services

If you believe that there are any clerical errors with the scores/marks you have received, you can pay for one of the ‘Post Results’ services detailed below on the Online Store, providing this is before the deadline for that service (Friday 4th April).

For more information, please refer to the ‘Post Results Service Information’ tab.
