Students can therefore cash-in as planned in January 2014 to complete their Edexcel GCE A level qualification. If this option is taken, the following points should be noted: The specification and assessment remain unchanged; therefore you should continue to prepare (your students) for their final January exams in 2014 in the usual way. Students will be awarded an Edexcel International Advanced level, regulated by Pearson, instead of an Edexcel GCE A level. This is because Ofqual has made a decision that the regulated Edexcel GCE A level qualifications can no longer include a January exam series. All entries for January 2014 must be accompanied by a cash-in code.

Students wishing to complete their Edexcel GCE A levels in June 2014 The solution above has been agreed specifically for students who must complete their course in January. Other students who are planning to complete their A levels in June 2014, will not be able to sit an exam in January 2014, but will still be able to complete their course in June 2014 as planned. What about students starting in 2013? From September 2013 we will be offering two Edexcel Mathematics qualifications at this level. Edexcel centres are in the unique position of being able to choose to deliver the A level that best suits their teaching style and students.
