How do I change the status of a qualification?

The easiest way to check the status of the subjects/qualifications in the active series is to go to Admin > Edit Subjects > File > Print > Subject Report

The last update to include changes to qualification statuses and add approved qualifications was issued in February 2024. This included all validated 9-1 qualifications for 2024 and 2025 and set the correct statuses for all other KS4 qualifications. 

If you believe that a qualification is not counting correctly in performance measures, then you can amend the status (and other parameters such as the discount code, how it is handled in EBacc, Progress 8 etc) using the Edit Qualifications tool.

The quickest way to go about this is to go to Admin > Edit Subjects, choose the subject on the left and click Edit Qualification in the top right. You can then use the table in the bottom right of the display to change the settings. Note that you will need to move the slider from KS4 to KS5 for KS5 subjects.
