Diploma Support is now part of 14-19 Workforce Support including support for Foundation Learning and General Qualifications, as well as the Diploma, with links to support for Apprenticeships.
In this issue of 14-19 news, this broader remit is reflected in
articles on the General Qualifications Support Programme and
Foundation Learning. The focus, however, is still on the Diploma
with the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency and
the awarding organisations setting out their support packages.

excellent platform for bringing many Diploma lines to life. |
