Textiles Manufacturing Qualifications

As part of the Ofqual review of qualifications at Level 3 and below, we have identified a number of qualifications within the Textiles Manufacturing sector that fall under their category of less than 100 registrations per year.

As these qualifications are also linked to the SASE Apprenticeship Standards which are being withdrawn on the 31 July 2020, we are withdrawing the following qualifications for new registrations from the 31 July 2020.  The last date for certification on any of these qualifications will be the 31 July 2022.
