[Background] [Who would benefit from attending] [Programme]
Background
The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) and the Qualification Curriculum Authority (QCA) have a joint ministerial remit to work together to reform provision below Level 2. This programme of work is known as the Foundation Learning Tier (FLT). The FLT is also the term used to describe qualifications at Entry Level and Level 1 in the newly formed Qualifications and Credit Framework.
NIACE is offering half day seminars to prepare organisations for the introduction of the FLT Progression Pathways.
_______________________________
Who would benefit from attending?
The seminar is aimed at middle and senior managers to provide an introduction to the Foundation Learning Tier.
By the end of the day, participants will:
 | Gain an understanding of the FLT, both in relation to Progression Pathways and Qualification Reform |
| Be aware of the eight provider requirements necessary for delivering a Progression Pathway |
| Consider the strategic implications for organisations |
| Begin to develop an action plan for transition to 2010 |
Participants will be asked to read the Prospectus for Progression Pathways (LSC, 2008) prior to attending the seminar. This will ensure we maximise the time available to us on the day. The Prospectus is available to download from:
http://readingroom.lsc.gov.uk/lsc/National/LSC-P-NAT-080131_ProspectusProgressionPathways.pdf
Please note: Participants are asked to please bring the Prospectus with them on the day as it will be used for one of the activities.
