Application for fast track qualification approval

9779 IT, Software, Web and Telecoms Professionals Apprenticeship

Package (England)

Fast track approval is a streamlined approval process for existing centres. Typically, it is used when

·  a qualification is replaced or updated

·  approval for an N/SVQ would automatically entitle the centre to offer the corresponding VRQ.

To gain approval for these packages centres must already be approved and have had successful external verifier visits for the 4520 Competency and 7540 Technical Certificate components. Existing 9021 centres will receive automatic approval. 9779 centres will receive approval (registration only) to offer 3748 Functional Skills/3638 Key Skills. 3748 Functional Skills/3638 Key Skills has separate standard entry fees within these packages. There is no obligation to enter your candidates for these qualifications but if you decide to following approval certification status will be subject to a successful EV visit.

If centres do not wish to offer City & Guilds 3748 Functional Skills/3638 Key Skills but would like to take advantage of this integrated package for the 4520 Competency and 7540 Technical Certificate components only please indicate this in the 3748 Functional Skills/3638 Key Skills section below.
