Let us all think about Qualification Development? If you could develop a qualification what would you develop?

Rationale: The Personal Well-being (QCF) Qualifications will also support the development of knowledge of personal and social development (including personal relationships, values and beliefs, equality and diversity in society, mental and physical well-being), as well as the concept of risk and ways to manage and reduce risk. It is hoped that this will then allow learners to make positive and informed choices in their lives.

Think about your qualification proposal What would the rationale be for your proposed qualification?

What is involved in Qualification Development? A Team Effort!

Education and Knowledge and what expertise will be required for development? Are there any similar qualifications out there? How does this Qualification fit with AIM Awards’ Mission Statement? How will this Qualification Benefit the Learners? Risks & Costs Qualification Approval Marketing Who are the Learners? Developer: Can I make a Business Case for this Development? ? Validity!!!!!!!!!!!! Qfqual Regulations and the register Qualification Content & Size Rules of Combination What expertise will be required for Quality Assurance? Unit Content Qualification Life? Who will deliver the Qualification? Funding v Full Cost Recovery Letters of Support

During the course of this session think about the rationale for your idea and who would you get to support it?
