For coordinators
- Your current cohort carries on in Project Q until they finish.
- Your next cohort starts in Askel, with your exam board’s log.
- Every student’s project on one screen, with flags and the next step to take.
Switching from Project Q.
Keep this year’s students where they are. Start your next cohort in Askel.
Project Q is AQA’s online system for the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).
What changes
What changes, for each person.
For supervisors
- You review and sign each stage in Askel, as you do now.
- Help you give and AI tools students used are written down as they happen.
- Your new teacher statement has the record behind it.
For students
- Students part-way through finish where they are.
- New students plan their project one step at a time, and see what’s next.
- They can change text size, colours and font, and pick a skin.
Why schools switch
Why schools switch.
A view you can take in at a glance
Each student’s project is drawn as a line of dated stops, and the cohort view shows every student on one screen.
Built for the September 2026 AI rules
All five steps, including a fair way to deal with worries about AI before the student signs off, which JCQ now asks schools to have.
Any exam board, as each log is ready
AQA’s production log first. OCR, Pearson and WJEC/Eduqas logs follow, in the build order.
NEA subjects in the same place
History, English, Computer Science and more follow the EPQ, built on the same record.
How it works
Four steps to your next cohort.
-
1
Book a call
20 minutes to talk through your EPQ and your dates.
-
2
Set up your course
Your exam board, your dates and your supervisors. Pilot schools get hands-on help.
-
3
Invite supervisors
They sign in with their school Google or Microsoft account.
-
4
Students join in September
Your next cohort starts in Askel from the first week.
What we don’t do
We don’t import Project Q logs.
Students part-way through finish in Project Q. That keeps their record in one place for the exam board.
Project Q is a trade mark of AQA. Askel is not affiliated with AQA.
