Accredited Diploma Principal Learning and Project qualifications
Last updated: 20 Sep 2007
Principal Learning and Project qualifications were accredited by QCA in July 2007.
Principal Learning is the key constituent qualification in each Diploma and covers the essential curriculum relating to the sector title. The Project is similar to the extended project that is currently being developed at A-level and will develop a high degree of planning, preparation, research and autonomous working. Principal Learning and the Project are combined with Functional Skills and Additional and/or Specialist Learning to make the whole Diploma.
