QCF Level 2 Diploma Childcare Learning and Development (QCF) Wales Key Facts A new Quality Assurance Framework is being trialed 27th April 2010 A new quality assurance framework for internal assessment has been developed that will replace the current Standards Moderation process. A two-
phase pilot of the new Quality Standards Monitoring (QSM) process is currently underway led by our Centre Advisors. The approach will be rolled out
across all Centres and all relevant qualifications – both QCF and NQF- from September 2010. For more information click here Existing CACHE qualifications on the Learning Aims Database (LAD) All existing CACHE qualifications remain on the Learning Aims Database, which shows funding to be available until December 2010. However,
CACHE would like to confirm that as soon as QCF equivalent qualifications become available, funding is ‘switched off’ for equivalent NQF quals from
all awarding organisations. The LAD will not reflect this until QCF qualifications are fully accredited. We appreciate this could have been misleading for Centres, as it may have
suggested that all CACHE qualifications have been extended until December 2010. However, we can confirm that CWDC have supported the
continuation of funding for the CACHE Level 3 Diploma only until December 2010. |
