Using qualifications in career planning


		11-16 schools

		6th form schools

		Colleges

There are several qualifications at entry level to level 2 that can be used alone or in combination with other qualifications such as GCSEs in vocational subjects. QCA has produced guidance on these new opportunities to accredit young people's learning through careers education and guidance and work-related learning programmes. The guidance will help schools and colleges assess how these accreditation schemes can improve the quality of teaching and learning, and raise the levels of young people's achievement.
