When undertaking a qualification that does not appear on the governments' lists as eligible for funding for specific age ranges, users must be aware of legal requirements. Not all qualifications are suitable for all age ranges.
Learners from this qualification could progress on to Level 3 awards in Craft and Design or the Ascentis level 3 subject award in Craft taken from the QAA-recognised Access to Higher Education portfolio.
Assessment is independent in that Ascentis external moderators, who have no personal interest in the assessment decisions take in centres, verify that the assessment criteria have been met at external moderation.
