Hi Des,
Simulated learning is most definitely not permitted for all Occupational Qualifications – it all depends if it is possible. For generic qualifications, it makes sense. Each Occupational Qualification, whether it is generic, complex/technical, a trade or a part-qualification – the Curriculum Document guides us and gives a clear indication…[Read more] -

Thank you, Sylvia, for a very important discussion!
If we look at the legacy qualifications, the combination was fundamental, core, and a selection so elective unit standards, Now we change over to knowledge, practical, and workplace components – which makes sense.
Providers have been faced with the burden of finding Employers that will open…[Read more]
