Details

We are currently phasing in new rules which will require all awarding organisations to describe the size of all their qualifications using two measures - ‘Total Qualification Time’ and ‘Guided Learning’.

This publication sets out criteria for which awarding organisations must use when determining the number of hours for ‘Total Qualification Time’ and ‘Guided Learning’ to assign to a qualification.
