These work based Learning and Development qualifications on the Qualification Credit Framework were developed by Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK). Development work on the new qualifications followed a nine month review of the Learning and Development National Occupational Standards by LLUK in consultation with practitioners and managers in the sector, Awarding Organisations and other key stakeholders. The new suite of awards, certificates and diplomas at Levels 3 and 4 replace the previous NVQ qualifications in Learning and Development.
Level 3 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practices of Learning and Development
This Level 3 Award consists of one unit; it provides an introduction to the learning and development sector.
Level 3 Award in Facilitating Learning and Development
This Level 3 Award includes the unit from the above award plus another unit in which the learner has to show evidence of facilitating learning and development either with groups or individuals.
Level 3 Certificate in Learning and Development
This Level 3 Certificate incorporates the units from the Level 3 Award qualifications plus a wide range of optional units for the practitioner who has a significant amount of learning and development responsibilities within their job role.
Level 4 Diploma in Learning and Development
This Level 4 Diploma is designed for the advanced learning and development practitioner who works across all phases of the learning and development cycle and who has significant autonomy.
