Can you tell us more about the QCF test and trials?
The first year's (2006-2007) focus was on testing out the technical details ie the design of units, the combination of units and the credit value of units. The second year's(2007-2008) focus was on the learner's experience. Most tests and trials are led by a sector body or an awarding organisation, though nearly all have awarding organisation involvement. A second set of tests and trials with employer recognised awards and provider recognised awards got underway in October 2007. The final reports from the tests and trials were completed at the end of April 2008. These reports will contribute to inform the final recommendations to ministers about the future of the national roll out of the QCF. For more information, go to http://www.qca.org.uk/qca_8152.aspx .

Readiness Matrix for Implementation of the VQ Reforms
To help prepare you for the UK Vocational Qualification Reform Programme (UK VQRP), we have provided a matrix to identify how change ready your organisation is to meet the challenges of implementing the vocational qualifications reforms. You can work on the matrix as individuals or in teams and go through the areas that you think are relevant to your organisation. Using the matrix, you can rate your priorities and can help you develop a strategic plan for the implementation of the qualification reforms.

Can a learner take a cluster of units and rename them as a qualification?
As in any demand led system the learner can take any number (or cluster) of units offered by providers. However they will not be able to combine them and rename them as their own qualification. A qualification will be achieved by gaining the units specified by ‘rules of combination’ for a qualification which are developed by Sector Skills Councils,Awarding Organisationsand other approved organisations.
