Hi there! While there isn’t a universal percentage for attendance that applies across all BTEC qualifications, many educational institutions do have their own attendance policies that can impact your overall assessment. It’s great to hear that you’re achieving merits in your coursework!

However, since you’re performing well in your assignments, you may still have a chance to pass even with lower attendance, especially if your coursework submissions are strong.
I recommend reaching out to your course instructor or academic advisor to discuss your situation. They can provide specific guidance related to your institution’s requirements and any potential implications of your attendance on your final grade. Good luck with the rest of your course!
