Ofqual publishes open letter and QCF report

19 January 2010

Ofqual, the regulator of qualifications, exams and tests in England, has today published an open letter and a report regarding the new Qualification Credit Framework (QCF).

Open letters are just one method being implemented by the regulator to publicise its position on important issues.

The letter sets out the role of the regulators – Ofqual in England, DCELLS in Wales and CCEA in Northern Ireland – and Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) in assuring qualifications in a manner that minimises duplication and delay. It sets out how the SSC approval process guidance, which has been approved by the UK Vocational Qualifications Reform Board (UKVQRB), is to be incorporated into the regulatory arrangements for accreditation of qualifications into the Qualifications and Credit Framework.

Also published today is The 2009 evaluation of QCF regulation, which reports the results of the first evaluation of the regulation of the QCF.
