Reason for the revision

 

The revision was initiated in response to industry feedback regarding the pre-requisite entry information on both qualifications.  Industry had determined the prerequisite requirements placed unnecessary barriers to learners and requested their removal.

·         Ref: 1320 listed the National Certificate in Fitness (Foundation Skills) (Level 2) [Ref: 1239] as a prerequisite for award.  This qualification now has no pre-requisite for award.
