| New defintion of 'full' level 3 confirmed |
| [2009/03] The Secretary of State has agreed the new definition of ‘full’ Level 3, within the QCF, to be a qualification with a credit value range of a minimum threshold of 25 credits to a maximum threshold of 70 credits. The range is intended to support occupational competence, license to practice, and progression to higher education and higher level skills. Qualification will also have to be approved by the Sector Skills Councils (SSCs), Standard Setting Bodies (SSBs) and Sector Bodies (SBs) as ‘full’. SSCs, SSBs and SBs will be able to vary the thresholds as appropriate. |
