Yellow Label Service moratorium extension

applied qualifications being approved for inclusion in the
performance tables, in order to allow a pause during the review of
qualifications at level 3 and below. The moratorium will last for

Since September 2018, there has been a moratorium on
technical and applied qualifications being approved for
inclusion in the performance tables, in order to allow a
pause during the review of qualifications at level 3 and
below. The moratorium will last for at least 2 years.
The qualifications review may lead to changes in the
qualifications offered by awarding bodies to students.
It may also be the case that some qualifications
continue to be offered, but are no longer funded by the
Department for Education, in which case it would not be
appropriate for them to be covered by the Yellow Label
Service contract.
Given the uncertainty about future changes to the
system, a moratorium has been imposed on including new
technical and applied qualifications in the Yellow
Label Service until the performance tables moratorium
ends.
The Yellow Label Service moratorium does not apply to
GCSE, GCE and Functional Skills qualifications, which
will still be considered as normal.
