Important – Key Information: In order to be able to submit results for TAG/CDG you must have been
informed by the Quality Team that your Eligibility Submission has been approved. You will also be able to see
the status of bookings in the Walled Garden.
Throughout Summer 2021, we have various ‘windows’ when TAG results can be submitted. You can access a
list of key dates here.
This guidance will guide you through different stages of how to submit results for approved candidates,
including:
• Creating a CSV file,
• Using the CSV file to upload results on to Walled Garden,
• Identifying any error messages,
• Tracking progress of a results submission,
• Timescales for processing and receiving certificates.
The Quality Delivery Team are available to support you with any queries and their contact details are at the
back of this document.

6. Once your template is populated with all your candidate data, you will need to save the template on your own system ready to upload. If you are using your own template, you will already have a file saved
ready to use.
Please note that you will only be able to update files in a CVS format and not in Excel format. To ensure your
file is a CSV file, you will need to save it in as a *.CSV file and not a *.xlsx file.
To upload your saved template, select Browse (A) to locate it on your system and Upload (B) to upload it.
7. If there are any errors in the CSV file that you have uploaded, you will see the reasons why and which
record the error relates to in the Reasons(s) for errors (A). The ‘record number’ corresponds to the line on
your CSV file, with line 1 being the column headings on the spreadsheet.
If you receive this error message you will need to check the data in your CSV file and resubmit by going back
to step 7 (the Alternative Results File Upload screen).

8. If your CSV file has been successfully uploaded, you will see the screen below.
The message will also tell you how many records have been successfully uploaded in order for you to check
this number against your own records.
At this point you have now successfully uploaded your file.

After TAG result submission
Once we are assured of the approach a centre is taking, we will then sample evidence held by centres to
validate processes have been followed as expected.
We will select the sample using a risk-based sampling strategy, and once we receive TAG result submissions, we will identify the learners we wish to sample and notify centres of the next steps of how to submit evidence to us via Kineo Locker (our secure file sharing platform).
For further information, please refer to our Alternative Assessment Arrangements 2021 document here.
