Cert Achievement Evidence

Created

I was having a discussion today with our lead IQA regarding some bespoke qualifications that have been made for a learner. 

The tutor has taken some optional units from a Business Admin L1 qualification and delivered them which has generated a unit cert only without the front sheet showing the learners name, qualification name and number. For me this is a partial achievement as the learner hasn't generated enough credits to create a full set of certs. 

Compliance and delivery are now at a stand off as they believe it to be a full achievement which cant be the case. Surely this is a partial achievement and 2:2 in the ILR?

Many thanks

That is only appliable to HE aims only see the ILR spec guidance note:

Code 2 'Partial achievement' should only be used for prescribed HE learning aims where the learner has achieved an award that is at a lower academic level than the qualification they were aiming for as identified by the learning aim reference. For example, a learner who is aiming for an HND but leaves at the end of the first year with an HNC.

Thanks for that Martin, 3:3 it is then. 

Martin West

How did you record this in the ILR? If at unit level then it would be 2:1 at completion

Chris Roberts

3:3 as the learner has only completed 10 credits from a required 25 for full certification. 

Steve Hewitt

Oh, I'd go 2:3? I assume they attended until when they were meant to?

Martin West

Agree with Steveh but if the tutor has taken some optional units from a Business Admin L1 qualification and delivered them this should be recorded as individual units and not the full qualification aim.

Chris Roberts

Would a 2:3 have any positive impact on the QAR?

Martin West

No as it would be not achieved.

Steve Hewitt

But would bump the retention marginally...

Thanks Steve Hewitt and Martin West for the advice.
