Appeals for 2021

If you think that your grade is wrong, please discuss it with your centre. They will tell you what the process is for appealing. For results based on Teacher Assessed Grades, learners cannot appeal directly to City & Guilds.

For the Extended Project and Core maths, you may find it useful to refer to The JCQ student guide.

If you identify an error in results after they are published to Walled Garden, you can use these forms to let us know. For example, if two learners with similar names have been mixed up or there’s been an administrative error. These forms should also be used to let us know of any grade change following an internal review.

For Functional Skills and EOSL Skills for life, TAGs are only available as a last resort, where it is not possible to complete the assessment for that individual candidate. The centre must establish that the candidate is eligible for a TAG. If City & Guilds rejects the centre application at the eligibility stage, the centre can appeal this decision.

Candidates can also appeal their grade.
