Summary of review and consultation process

Trainees, graduates and employers were surveyed to confirm the qualifications remained fit for purpose. These responses, achievement data, and an industry overview were considered at a meeting of industry representatives and recommendations informed the qualification review.

The Reference Group of industry technical advisers considered the responses and a consultation feedback summary report was published on the Connexis website.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

The qualification documents were updated to meet current qualification template requirements including changes to the requirements for assuring consistency, the removal of conditions relating to the qualification outcomes, and specific conditions relating to the graduate profile.

Other changes were made to the qualifications including:

-          change to titles to remove the brackets around the qualifiers

-          removal of specific contexts and wording repetition in the strategic purpose statements

-          minor changes to graduate profile outcomes in line with current industry skills and knowledge requirements and without alteration to intent.
