Obtaining the Standard Codes

Info

If Onefile has setup your centre with bespoke qualifications, you will need to consult Onefile to find the VQ Reference numbers that should be used, as explained at the bottom of the page.

Before you add your standards into PICSWeb, you will need their Standard Code to hand. This is the two- or three-digit code used to classify the standard by the ESFA. If you are unaware of any of the relevant codes, they can be found using the Find a Learning Aim service.

...

When you Add a New Qualification, you will be prompted to enter the VQ Reference required for Onefile. In our experience this is normally the Standard Code explained above followed by a two-letter code to indicate which part of the standard is represented by the qualificiation. However if Onefile has setup your centre with bespoke qualifications then you will need to consult Onefile to find the VQ Reference numbers that should be used.

The following codes are used:

...

  • In the Edit Window, add Main Aim to the Types field.

  • In the Edit Window, make sure that the Level has been set and is accurate.

  • In the Additional Details tab, select Edit to open the edit window and search for the corresponding qualification in the Export in ILR as field.

Finding Custom Codes in OneFile

The code specification above may not apply to all of the aims you want to set up in PICSWeb. If this is the case, you will need to find the actual aim codes in OneFile and use those as the VQ Reference in PICSWeb.

To do this, log in to your OneFile ePortfolio and go to Centres > Learning Aims.

...

The learning aim table will display the correct code at the end of the Learning Aim title in square brackets. For example, if you were setting up the Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship Standard qualification in PICSWeb, you would use 133AS as the VQ Reference, as taken from the table in the screenshot below.
