Playwork qualifications – withdrawals and new qualifications coming soon
In line with Ofqual requirements and as part of our internal maintenance processes the qualification development team have been reviewing the suite of playwork qualifications. Reviews are taking place to ensure the continued compliance of these qualifications and to reflect any updated national occupational standards, changes to legislation and to address feedback received from centres.
As part of this review, we will be withdrawing current versions of the qualifications listed below (and any associated unit programmes) and replacing these with new versions. These new versions will be direct replacements, as the structure and content of these qualifications will not greatly differ from the current versions.
Qualifications being withdrawn:
- NCFE CACHE Level 3 Award in Transition to Playwork (From Early Years) (600/0500/2)
- NCFE CACHE Level 2 Diploma in Playwork (NVQ) (500/9047/1)
- NCFE CACHE Level 3 Certificate in Playwork (501/0993/5)
- NCFE CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Playwork (NVQ) (501/0997/2)
Please see Horizons for further details. More information about the new qualifications will be shared in the coming months.
