By checking the SRF’s before I post them off ……
I hopefully have spotted any errors and omissions and queried and corrected them
with the departments before teaching staff go off on their hols!!
Just need to work out now when I can take some leave ????

Answering your point
but for here, then the answer is No. Seemingly the last thing before leaving
for their (well earned) holiday appears to be the completion of
claims. This could be linked to the poor quality of completion of the
claims ...
How do you pre-empt
the problems?

Ummmmmm but are the Teaching Staff around during the summer when
you start getting the BTEC queries coming in - especially in regards To UCAS
students??
That was the problem I had in previous years so I now try to

Hi there, the teaching staff claim via edexcel online here at
MKC.. there is no way we could manually claim 12,000 qualifications via edexcel
online in the exams office. My theory was that they completed the SRF's
and we just sent them straight off - it's not different. It should be the
departments responsibility to ensure the claim is accurate and correct as far
as I'm concerned.

Ditto Sue- dedicated member of staff in exams does this as
part of his BTec role
I think the only problem so far we've had with BTecs is finding
out too late that U grades are no longer acceptable.
The only thing I hate about BTecs is manually inputting the
grades into the ILR. (My boss is old fashioned.)

Importance: High
I have just finished checking all our SRF's!!! - and I do this
on the basis that the tutors can't be trusted to complete them correctly (would
never let them have access to Edexcel online!!!)
Basically - I'm just checking to make sure that they have claimed
the right number of units and that the boxes at the bottom are completed
correctly.
As it was silly things like this that held up our results in
previous years

That's the theory that we used, they can just as easily make a
mistake on an SRF as on a screen, we don't check the SRFs one by one to ensure
that they have completed them correctly, they just get given to us and we post
them off.
It happened at a time when Edexcel were talking about getting
rid of paper SRFs a few years ago, and the solution was either we would process
them all online and cause a delay to the attainment, or give tutors restricted
access to process.

The Tutors write them on the SRF so what is the difference,
audit trail is by authorised log-on and access rights, and quality checks by

What you do with QL
is awesome but we do not have the resources in Exams to input the results, so
like David we use a hybrid homegrown system - in our case using Excel
spreadsheets.
I am frankly shocked
that anyone would let Tutors input results onto Edexcelonline as there is
no audit trail visible to centres as to who enters what, hence
the difficulty of validating the grades for audit purposes would be
massive.

Hi Mark
This year we sent all out achievement
claims in the EDIFACT EDI format.
We imported reg numbers in to our MIS
system, then emailed out group SRF's. Curriculum completed the units numbers
attempted and grades achieved - and we set up a template that converted this to
the EDIFACT file format.
It has saved hours - especially in terms of
filing the SRF's, and not having to use Edexcel online during their peak
periods.
We can then do a weekly import of
achievement data by matching reg number/ scheme code/ learning aim from the
claim reporting section of Edexcel online against enrolment data - then get MIS
to bulk update the achievements.
Thanks

We have the same issue here with SRFs that are still "in transit".
The whole process of using SRFs is unconvincing, so hopefully we will complete
our move online for next year.
I am always worried about deleting the ULNs to get things through - presumably
this results in the qualification record ceasing to be attached to the ULN and
hence invalidates the theory of the ULN linking all the records together.
