Updates: Ofqual Handbook: Essential Digital Skills Qualifications
2024
Interpretation and Definitions (Condition EDSQ9)
Ofqual has made minor amendments to the interpretation condition in the Qualification Level Conditions for Performance Table Qualifications (which apply to Key Stage 4 Technical Awards), Technical Qualifications (in T Levels), Functional Skills Qualifications (English, maths and digital) and Essential Digital Skills Qualifications. These amendments are intended to clarify this aspect of the regulations and to bring greater consistency across Ofqual’s regulatory framework. These are minor changes, and awarding organisations will not need to take any action as a result of these amendments. The changes will have no practical impact on students or any other user of qualifications.
