Date new version published                        December 2005

Reason for the revision

 

The revision was carried out in order to give the provider of the ASENZ Diploma in Supported Employmentmore time to apply for accreditation to deliver the National Diploma.  The effect of the revision is to enable the provider to deliver the ASENZ diploma to one more intake without penalising graduates of that qualification by cutting off the opportunity for ASENZ Diploma graduates to claim exemptions under the transition arrangements in the National Diploma in Employment Support (Level 6).

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

The final date for graduates of the ASENZ Diploma in Supported Employment to claim exemptions under the transition arrangements has been extended to 31 December 2007.
