This was an Edexcel run event. Things I learned from this were:
- The word Tier is going to be dropped, so it'll be Foundation Learning.
- Workskills will be a big deal for Edexcel. They are a suite of units geared towards developing skills for work and I know that they're also pushing this internationally.
- They had little idea how the FL framework would work across awarding bodies.
- A certain percentage of units needs to be done at a certain level for that level to be awarded.
- The qual will be called 'vocational skills in...'
- Credits are 10 GLH
- Some units are one credit, others are more than one credit, so check
- 1-12 credits is an award
- 13-36 credits is a certificate
- 37+ credits is a diploma
- The NQF is morphing over to the QCF - the Qualification Credit Framework
- They DON'T have to do PSD, unless it's deemed appropriate. Same with Lit and num!
- It really is pick and mix, and I can't see how it'll work. Seems to be a logistical nightmare!
