Hello and welcome,
June has been a busy month with the applications for the Proskills
Awards and we will be announcing the  finalists
next month.
Other major activity taking place includes
the redevelopment of qualifications under the Qualifications Credit
Framework (QCF) with Proskills determining which industry specific
qualifications are fundable under the Train to Gain initiative and the
Adult Learner Responsiveness strands. We have also intervened to ensure
that over 30 Proskills' qualifications remain accessible to public
funding from the end of July.
Although qualifications are changing to a new modular "bit
size" structure, we want to reassure everyone that these changes do
not mean that previous qualifications are going to disappear. Previous
qualifications remain valid and recognised and those on a course or
registered for a course, have a time frame in which to complete the
qualification.
