The External Moderation Process

The delivery of units to unemployed learners is part of the new flexibilities available under the 2011/12 Single Adult Skills Budget (SASB) covering mainstream delivery to 19+ learners.

From 1st August 2011 the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) will fund individual units from the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) when delivered to eligible unemployed learners and through provision delivered as part of the Offender Learning and Skills Service (OLASS) and the Joint Investment Programme. Units can also be funded as part of ESF Response to Redundancy.

A range of award sized NCFE qualifications have also been approved to support individuals aged 19+ who are unemployed and need help to enter work. These are listed below:

Qualification Number	Qualification Title	Level	Credit Value	Guided Learning Hours (GLH)	Combined Reg/Cert Fee per Learner
600/0460/5	Award in the Principles of Coaching Sport	1	4	33	£21
500/9847/0	Award in the Principles of Coaching Sport	2	9	63	£40
500/8090/8	Award for Resort Representatives	2	8	60	£40

We’re not stopping there…

Over the next few months, we’ll continue to expand the range of NCFE units available for individual registration and certification. We’ll be contacting our centres in due course to inform them of these arrangements.

If you’re planning on offering units we’d like to hear more on your plans so that we can consider these as part of our developments.  Please get in touch by contacting your local Business Development team representative.
