“As a Centre Co-ordinator, Project Q was incredibly helpful. I could see from the outset what students needed to do and when, and could discuss their progress with Supervisors during our meetings.”
- Project Q adds transparency and places you firmly in control
- Learners feel empowered, project managing their own work to a successful outcome
- Supervisors gain at-a-glance updates across the cohort helping to support learning and progress more effectively
Project Q provides a solution to the workflow challenges of the International EPQ, allowing easy management of the process from start to finish. Paper forms and emails are replaced by a central system, where the whole project is managed online in real time.
Centre Co-ordinators create courses and Supervisor groups via the easy-to-use web-based portal. Students then complete their online Production log as they progress through the project. Supervisors monitor student progress then review and feedback. Sections are signed off and locked down as they are completed. A timeline shows important milestones throughout the project, with reminders.
Once the project is done, students export the log into the required exam board format to complete their International EPQ submission.
“The whole purpose of the International EPQ is to build student independence. Project Q enables this because it provides our students with an overarching view of the EPQ journey. This means they aren’t reliant on their Supervisor to direct them and can use their 1-to-1 meetings more proactively, putting them in charge of their EPQ experience.”
Features include:
Production log with structured fields for each stage of the project, and a discussion area allowing students to get Supervisor feedback as they go.
Journal where students can record notes, research and progress – especially useful when completing the reflective aspects of the production log.
My files where students can upload draft work and share this with their Supervisor.
Resources area, ideal for sharing course specs, handbooks or taught skills presentations.
A handy time machine function to view and track previous versions of work.
Inbox messaging system where discussions and communications can be easily accessed.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Project Q to anyone looking to deliver the OxfordAQA International EPQ. It provides a shared point of reference for everyone involved in the EPQ process: the student, the Supervisor and the Centre Co-ordinator. This way, everyone is clear on what they need to do and how to ensure a successful outcome.”
With over 100,000 users around the world, and an impressive 98% renewal rate, Project Q is a cost-effective way to free up valuable staff and student time.
Your free trial for 2025-26 will allow you to explore this complete student management system and see for yourself how it can make the management of EPQ project qualifications easy.
