| NOTICE: |
Through 2010 and 2011 all nationally accredited qualifications are being revised by their relevant Awarding Bodies to meet the requirements of the government’s newly introduced, national Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).
In many cases the courses remain virtually unaltered but have added details of “Credit” values ascribed to the individual Units that are required to be completed to achieve the qualification.
Under the QCF, new qualification grades have been introduced: an Award, Certificate and Diploma, for which a specified minimum number of Credits will have to be achieved. These grades are expected to be available for each subject at each Level of difficulty. The grades available and the numbers of Credits required for each grade can however differ for each subject and Level.
The new information is being introduced onto our website following its availability from the relevant Awarding Bodies. The revised courses are identified by the acronym QCF at the end of their title. Please contact us for the very latest information.
