When is Btec results day?
Btec National results will be released to students on 18 August. Results for Btech Firsts are expected to be released on 25 August.
According to The Uni Guide, the exact date when you get results can sometimes depend on your school or college.
They will normally receive Btec results the day before A level results are released but students may only receive them on the same day as A level results (on 18 August). However, Btec students will already know some individual unit grades from completed units.

Understanding BTEC Grades
The table below shows the different grades from highest to lowest based on which qualification you are studying towards.
Students who do not meet the grading criteria will be awarded a U, which means ’unclassified’.

BTEC Level 3 Nationals (teaching from 2014) BTEC (QCF) qualifications will gain:
- Distinction (D)

Depending on the type of BTEC National you’re studying you’ll receive up to three grades:
- Extended Diploma – three grades
- Diploma – two grades
- Extended Certificate – one grade
What if I Don’t Agree With My BTEC Result?
If you don’t agree with your BTEC result, you have a right to appeal your grade. Individual awarding organisations have set out their own appeals processes so you should reach out to your school, college or training provider for support who will be aware of these, and who will be able to give you advice and support.
Can I Go to University With a BTEC?
Absolutely! There is a common misconception that to go to university you have to complete your A Levels, however, this is a myth we can bust right there. Once you have completed your BTEC, your unit grades will be converted into a points score. This will then be added together which will give you your overall grade. These results will be shared with UCAS in advance of BTEC results Day. You might be suprised to hear that 99% of UK universities accept BTEC qualifications’, including Russell Group Universities!
You’ll also need to have qualified at Level 3, which is equivalent to A Levels.
The table below shows how many UCAS points you will receive for your qualification and grade.
