radish Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Is anyone able to help me please. I am trying to check a couple of qualifications on the gov.uk qualification checker and I cannot make any sense of the pre sept 14 list and there are no level 2 qualifications mentioned on the post september 2014 list. Is it just me??? Is there somewhere else I can look? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSFRebecca Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hello! The qualifications checker is a little fiddly but all the details are there! So, this is the site: qualifications checker If you are looking for post 2014 L2s you need to look at Qualifications started after 1 September 2014, Level 2. Then, in that paragraph you will see Ofqual-approved and included, beside that sentence is a checker which takes you to an Ofqual site. When you are on the Ofqual site you see "Welcome to the Register of Regulated Qualifications" and you can 'Search the Register'. In the first search box type something from the qualification you are looking for e.g 'child care' or 'early years' - then a long list of relevant qualifications appear at all the diiferent levels and from all the different awarding bodies. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radish Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thank you so much for your help. I couldn't make any sense of the web site. Sherlock?? - are you considering a career change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSFRebecca Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Another member has posed a qualifications query: "I have a new member of staff who embarked upon a foundation degree (arts) in Children's and Young People's Services and got to, and successfully passed, Level 4, at Derby University, before personal circumstances changed and she wasn't able to continue to finish her degree. She has a letter stating that she has passed the Certificate of Higher Education in Children's and Young People's Services (Early Years), dated September 2011." So, I have used the qualifications checker (link in my first post on this thread), I have then looked for qualifications pre-2014, this opens a spreadsheet. I have then looked for the qualification (see below) and seen that there are conditions attached to its validity So the qualification is only full and relevant if there was an element of 'assessed performance' involved. You'll need to ask your member of staff about that. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshaD Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 My turn... Ok so I've found the qualification, but what does it mean please, is it relevant or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSFRebecca Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I've had a look on the main first page, and assuming that your member of staff started the qualification after 2014 this is the key sentence: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PippinsPreschool1 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Could I ask a question please... If a person had a degree in BA(hons) Primary Education which is full and relevant (from Manchester metropolitan), would it also be full and relevant from another university? So new to this!!

Tim Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi A BA(hons) is a recognised degree qualification, whichever University awarded it. Tim :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSFRebecca Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hello NickyR, I think you were struggling because it's OCR, not ORC. It's not full and relevant. You'll find it on the Qualifications list Pre Sept 2014 Hope that helps Rebecca 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
