Providers should note that the 34 qualifications making up the Trade Union Education and Training unit framework have GLH identified within a common structure to ensure that learners receive adequate support for successful achievement. All Awards require a minimum of 50 GLH, Certificates require a minimum of 120 GLH, Diplomas require a minimum of 360 GLH.
The GLH identified on individual units reflect the notional learning time values because of the integrated work place related nature of Trade Union education. Therefore, the GLH values on units will not combine to produce the GLH values for the whole qualifications as described above.
