As set out in its white paper, Success as a knowledge economy (May 2016), the government will shortly begin a lessons learned exercise into this first trial year of the TEF. The findings of the lessons learned exercise will inform the operation of the TEF in 2018 and the intention to move to subject level assessments.
An award will be valid for up to three years.
The government introduced the TEF in 2016 as a trial year, from which lessons will be learned for future years.
Providers that meet rigorous national quality requirements but which do not yet have sufficient data to be fully assessed may opt in for a provisional award.
