BTec results were delayed by exam board Pearson last week, leaving thousands awaiting their marks for the year.

Pearson apologised for the delay and said no grades would be lowered.

Grading was delayed by Pearson to give the board more time to recalculate the grades after A-level and GCSE results were changed to be based on teacher estimates.

All results will be issued by Friday.

However, vocational grades from the WJEC exam board were issued last Thursday.
