Changes to our employability qualifications
We're currently reviewing our range of employability qualifications to ensure that they are understood by our learners and employers.
We've decided to concentrate our provision into a smaller number of employability qualifications, and grow the core Workskills suite. As a result of this, the following qualifications will be withdrawn at the existing review date, 31 August 2015:

This means centres can continue their current provision as long as the correct units are chosen. We will contact individual centres with further details of the actions needed to transfer over, which you can choose to do at any time between now and 31 August 2015.
