Opportunities to shape new qualifications for the future

Following a successful round of scoping workshops, we are developing the first of our semiconductor qualifications – Preparing for employment in the semiconductor industry.

Aimed at individuals at the start of their semiconductor journey, this qualification will:

introduce individuals to what semiconductors are and why they are important
feature a range of units for learners to select from
be credit-based and will be designed to be delivered to learners in any setting.

Join our Qualification Development Advisory Group

We’re about to begin development and are looking for individuals to join our Qualification Development Advisory Group to advise, inform and challenge us as we move through the qualification development process.
