Opportunities to shape new qualifications for the future

Following a successful round of scoping workshops, we are developing the first of our Green skills qualification: Sustainability Awareness.

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

introduce individuals to what sustainability is and why it has become a challenge for society
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 Groups

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.
