Its remit includes carrying out consultation with stakeholders, designing the award and writing the component units. There was a great deal of expertise around the table and I&#8217;m confident that we will come up with a good qualification. We got down to business in the afternoon and commenced the process of identifying the essential elements of an HNC in this field. We made a lot of progress in a short time.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re aiming to have the new award available to centres by <strong>May<\/strong> next year so that centres have the option of offering it from next session (2018\/19). I&#8217;ll keep you posted about progress on this blog so be sure to check for updates. We&#8217;ll be happy to share &#8220;beta&#8221; (or &#8220;alpha&#8221;) versions of whatever we produce if you want to see early versions of our work.
