Retail update June 2018
This June update covers qualification withdrawals within the retail sector.
Pearson Retail qualifications
For some years Pearson has supported the retail sector through the development of qualifications. This has led to the provision of apprenticeships and stand-alone qualifications for learners and employers in the sector. Many of the qualifications are now in need of updating in order to reflect the revised National Occupational Standards and therefore continue to meet the needs of learners and employers in the retail industry.
It is with great regret that we at Pearson have decided that we can no longer resource qualification development for the following due to minimal registrations made by our existing centres.
Therefore we are withdrawing our provision for the following qualifications:
