Post-16 vocational qualifications are going through their biggest shake-up in a decade. BTECs are being phased out, V-Levels are arriving and more. It's hard to keep track of which courses are ending, when the last exams take place and what replaces them.

So we've made a set of free, printable posters to help. Each set covers one subject area and has two pages:

• Final exam dates: a timeline showing when each outgoing qualification takes its last new students, its final main exam series and how long resit opportunities run.
• What replaces what: a clear map from each outgoing qualification to its replacements. It shows the T-Level route (one subject worth 3 A-Levels) and the V-Level route (a mix of subjects, each worth 1 A-Level), with first teaching and first exam dates.

The posters are designed at A3 and print well at A2 or A1 for the staffroom or department office. They're also handy for options evenings, curriculum planning meetings and conversations with students and parents.

Business changes

BTEC National Business (and Cambridge equivalent) qualifications are being phased out, with final exams in 2028 for the Extended Diploma and 2029 for smaller qualifications.

Existing T-Levels provide three-A-Level alternatives, while new, smaller V-Levels launch from September 2027, covering Accounting and Finance (2027), Business Management, Marketing and Retail, and Legal Services (all 2028).
