If each assessment organisation designs its own strategy, how will consistency be maintained?

While assessment organisations (AOs) have more freedom to design assessment strategies, consistency will be safeguarded through several mechanisms, including but not limited to:

  • Ofqual regulation that ensures all strategies are valid, reliable, and comparable across AOs.

  • High-level assessment plans that define mandatory outcomes and structural expectations.

  • Assessment strategies submitted by AOs that demonstrate how assessments meet national standards.

  • Ongoing monitoring by Ofqual and sector engagement to help preserve fairness and employer trust.

So, while assessments may look different, they must remain equivalent in quality, rigour, and intent.
