Summary of development/review and consultation process

These qualifications were reviewed in July 2024.  An early Last Date of Assessment (LDA) for version 2 was set for all qualifications, as it was thought there were no approved programmes. However, a Tertiary Education Organisation was delivering that version. The TEO has requested an extension for the Last Date of Assessment for the superseded version 2 of the qualifications, so as not to disadvantage their learners who are completing programmes leading to version 2 of the qualifications.

The LDA of version 2 now aligns with version 1.

The Strategic Reference Group, Tactical Reference Group and Technical Advisory considered the extension was appropriate to allow for learners to complete their training programme.

 

Main changes resulting from the development/review process

The last date of assessment for superseded version 2 of the qualifications above has been extended from 31 December 2024 to 31 December 2028.
