Is this the right qualification for your provider?
New provider suitability: Cautious unless the provider already has the relevant staff, facilities, and practical access. Established provider suitability: Stronger, especially where the provider already delivers in general. Facility pressure: Facilities should match the learning and assessment model, with enough space, records control, learner support, and practical access where needed. Equipment pressure: Equipment should be mapped to the qualification outcomes and practical expectations before submission. Staff pressure: Staff must be credible for the subject area and able to support assessment, moderation, and learner evidence. Workplace/practical pressure: Workplace exposure should be confirmed wherever applied or occupational competence is part of the qualification.
