We held a validation event for three vendor-related PDAs today. The awards are linked to Microsoft certification:

• Certificate in Desktop Support (linked to MCDST)
• Advanced Certificate in Network Administration (linked to MCSA)
• Advanced Diploma in Networking Technology (linked to and MCSE)

The event went well. Although the Panel imposed conditions, there was nothing that the Qualification Design Team can’t action quickly. We’re hoping to have the awards available to centres by the end of June.
