From September 2008 there will be ‘units’ available for individuals to study business relevant units and qualifications in bite-sized chunks of learning. The units are part of the new Qualification and Credit Framework providing flexible routes to gaining full qualifications.
The development work continues with working groups in a number of industries and new units available for comment at www.lantra.co.uk/stakeholders/job-profiles-consultation/
By April units for floristry and fencing will be signed off and Lantra will shortly be working with the awarding bodies, employers and providers to develop assessment strategies and the qualifications.
