Qualifications with removed funding approval
How we treat qualifications with removed funding approval. Why and when we have removed or will remove funding approval for groups of qualifications.
Common Approval Principle 11 states that we will not approve new qualifications that have the same or similar content to qualifications where funding approval has already been withdrawn, or we have announced it will be removed.
The government published the Post-16 education and skills white paper and the Post-16 level 3 and below pathways consultation setting the direction for further reforms to post-16 qualifications at level 3 and below.
