New Partnership with Edexcel
We are delighted to advise our providers that the qualifications YMTB and Parents with Prospects will shortly be available through Edexcel on the Qualfications and Credit Framework. The existing qualifications will be withdrawn from the awarding body NCFE with effect from 31st August 2009. Our partnership with NCFE has been a long and successful one over a six year period taking the provision from 4 providers to over 100 nationally. Unfortunately the programmes were withdrawn from the QCF process by NCFE as they were unable to take the qualifications further. Our decision to continue pursuing accreditation on the QCF was a difficult one but we are delighted that Edexcel has been able to help us to realise this vision.
Learners will be able to continue achieving their NCFE qualifications until 31st August 2011 although we will no longer be registering learners under the YMTB and PWP schemes from 31st August, 2009.
The new Edexcel QCF qualifications will be available with effect from September 2009. These new qualifications integrate YMTB -Skills for Life Competence and Parents with Prospects into an exciting award structure building on and enhancing our existing programmes.
Edexcel has provided expertise and guidance in developing assessment criteria and outcomes which embed the holistic and supportive elements of our courses. This learning leads to worthwhile qualifications which will count in today's challenging educational environment. We know that young mums and dads-to-be, and young parents want to achieve and succeed. This new learning route will provide opportunities and flexibility recognising the needs of the young parent by providing relevant information tasks and assignments which embed functional skills into the learning process.
