Post Qualification (PQ)

Background

The current PQ arrangements have been reviewed and as a result a revised framework has been developed. GSCC hold responsibility for this framework, in particular for the approval of awards and updates can be found on the GSCC website
The approach agreed by Skills for Care is that suitable arrangements are put in place in each region to support employers to make strategic decisions about the numbers and type of PQ programmes that they will require and will support. This planning will require participation of the universities intending to offer PQ programmes, existing PQ consortia, input from the LRN on the work based learning and assessment capacity issues and information on workforce data and skills needs.

Further information on this can be found at the skills for care website using the following link
