Approved changes to qualifications for 2026
The Qualifications Support Team (QST) meets annually to receive updates and consider qualification proposals submitted by centres, or individuals, throughout the year. Our annual meeting took place yesterday, 6 May.
Following constructive discussions on the qualification proposals to be considered, I am happy to advise that the following changes were approved:
- HND Computing: Technical Support (GM9D 16) – Addition of Virtualisation Technologies (J7E0 48) to the framework as an optional unit.
- HNC Digital Design and Web Development (GL7Y 15) – Addition of Agile Development: Introduction (HT9H 34) to the framework as an optional unit.
The team will now process these changes. The units will be available for delivery from August 2026.
If you have any queries, please do no hesitate to contact me.
