Notes: All eight-day writing windows open at 12noon and close at 12noon on the dates above. Results will be issued during the last week of the full assessment cycle. It is difficult to give precise dates in advance as these are dependent upon the Tribal external moderation process. However, results will always be available to participants by the final day of the assessment cycle at the latest. NB: All of the above is subject to UCL securing call-off contracts for these cohorts and continued DfE funding for the NPQs
