Qualifications Funding Confirmation Process

The Skills Investment Statement 2011-2014: Investing in a World Class Skills System (1 December 2011) announced that as “the funding transition to the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) is complete, and in order to minimise the differentiation in the qualifications offer pre and post 19, more of the QCF will be opened up for public funding”.

Following the announcement, the Skills Funding Agency will commence a review of the funding confirmation process and will be seeking to discuss the review and the implications of opening up more of the QCF for public funding with key stakeholders early in January 2012.
 
The document below outlines some frequently asked questions regarding the review the Agency will be undertaking and will be of interest to learning providers, Sector Skills Councils and awarding organisations.
