The Award aims for the learner to be able to:

Access to Study
All learners should be invited to an induction event to be introduced to the programme in detail through presentations and discussions with tutors and the centre support team.
All learners should be issued with the Award handbook, a timetable and meet their personal tutor and fellow learners. Centres should assess learners carefully to ensure that they take the right qualification and the right pathways or optional units, to allow them to progress to the next stage.

When learners are recruited, centres need to give them accurate information on the title and focus of the qualification for which they are studying. All learners must be registered with QUALIFI within 30 days of centre registration.
