The VQ Reform Programme is a UK-wide programme introducing changes to vocational qualifications particularly in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
The aim is to create a system:
- based on learner and employer needs
- with greater clarity and more flexibility and choice
- encouraging a more skilled and productive workforce
- allowing individuals to fulfill their potential
- supporting greater social justice and opportunity
This website sets out how these changes are being implemented in England and is intended to help organisations involved in this implementation including Sector Skills Councils (SSCs), employers, awarding organisations, adult training providers and other partners. The reforms currently apply only to vocational qualifications as defined by the UK VQ Reform Programme.
