Higher Technical Qualifications – consultation on cycle two applications

The Institute are seeking your views on the qualifications submitted to the Institute’s approvals process for Higher Technical Qualifications. The Institute has implemented the approval process to ensure that these qualifications meet the needs of employers and learners. Through this approval process, the Institute will award a quality mark to signal to employers and learners those qualifications offer genuine quality and are aligned to employer-led occupational standards.

As part of the approvals process, we publicly consult on the proposed Higher Technical Qualifications for 4 weeks. We want input from a range of stakeholders on whether the qualifications meet employer needs. Your feedback will be used by the Institute, including our Route Panels of employers, alongside other supporting evidence to make an approvals decision.

Please review the qualification submissions listed below and answer the corresponding questions.

This consultation opens on 13 October 2021 and closes 13 November 2021

What you need to do

Please complete a separate survey for each qualification and/or occupational standard you want to feedback on.

We can provide the organisation’s application form and supporting evidence on request.

When completing the survey, please look at the application form and the supporting evidence to reach a judgment and provide us with answers on our short survey.
