Assessment and entry considerations
Assessment: Observed role-specific tasks in an authorised workplace or approved simulation, knowledge checks and review of a classroom teaching assistance portfolio. Actual workplace evidence is required where the eventual award or role specifies it.
Entry and recognition: Relevant work experience or an entry assessment demonstrating readiness; access to role-specific workplace cases and any required local permissions.
Practice boundaries: Teaching, assessment and quality-assurance roles require the relevant occupational competence and provider approval. Early years and school placements require safeguarding checks and local eligibility.
Credential status: Proposed BEMCON programme only. No registered award, framework level, credit value or external certification is assigned.
Duration basis: Original curriculum-planning estimate, not an official prescribed qualification duration. The approved qualification specification, entry assessment and mandatory placement requirements take precedence.
