Qualifications in education, training and assessment: revised guidance published
The Education and Training Foundation, working with a variety of sector bodies, has produced revised guidance on the qualifications in education, training and assessment available and relevant for working in the post-16 education and training sector.
Howard Pilott, ETF Head of ITE Development and Advice explains:
“With our partners we have revised and reissued these three sets of guidance. We have provided a new single document for each area. In these revisions we have sought to address significant developments in the sector, changes in government policy, and to emphasise areas of effective practice. The changes are not radical, but we do encourage all concerned to work from the most up to date versions of the guidance.”
The newly published Curriculum and Assessment Review recommends the introduction of new level 1 preparation for GCSE qualifications for English language and for maths.

The English and maths GCSE results 2025 both show a fall in the pass rate when compared to 2024, which has been attributed to an increase in the number of learners resitting them.
Newcastle College has part time CELTA, TAQA and Award in Education and Training courses that are ideal for those who want to gain new skills and knowledge but have work and study commitments.
