New learning and development qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Current NVQs in learning and development will not be available beyond March 2011. There is an urgent need to consult on what qualifications would be appropriate to replace these. Lifelong Learning UK are working with partners across all sectors to propose new qualifications for the learning and development workforce.

The proposed qualifications will be taken to consultation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland through an online questionnaire and self facilitated groups, which will open on Monday 23 August and close on Friday 10 September.*

We will then revise the proposal in light of the consultation feedback, and publish awarding organisation guidance in September 2010. Awarding organisations can then develop and accredit qualifications. It is hoped that any new qualifications developed will be available early in 2011.

*Please note that these dates have changed to allow for further feedback to be received.
