Portfolio update

I’ve updated the diagram that illustrates the portfolio of vocational Computing qualifications.

I know that some of you begin to plan next session’s qualifications towards the end of the calendar year. Here are the highlights from the diagram.

  • There has been a lot of changes to CBQs over the last year. Please note that the following diplomas don’t lapse until the end of October: IT & Telecom Professionals (Level 6), Information Security Professionals (Level 6) and IT & Telecom Professionals (Level 8). The others are in lapsing now.
  • NC Computing: Technical Support is ending.
  • PDA Network Technology (Level 8) is ending.
  • NPA Computing is coming.
  • NPA Esports is now available.
  • NPA Data Science is under review.
  • NPA Mobile Technology (Levels 4/5) is ending.
