3 Introduction Agored Cymru Qualifications Agored Cymru is a QCF awarding organisation offering a range of flexible and responsive provision designed to help learners of every age achieve their potential. Agored Cymru is the only awarding organisation to focus entirely on developing qualifications and credit to meet the needs of learners in Wales. We have over 20 years experience and, have awarded over 6 million credits to learners across Wales. Because we work exclusively in Wales, we are ideally placed to respond to the demands of our learners and centres. Our qualifications are uniquely tailored to the needs and priorities of individuals, communities, employers and the aims of a modern Wales. As the Welsh awarding organisation, working for the benefit of Wales, our dedicated team of specialists is committed to promoting the Welsh language by encouraging assessment through the medium of Welsh. All our units and qualifications are credit based, and flexible enough to meet the needs of learners in any setting from schools to FE and from offender learning to training in the workplace. We offer our recognised centres the opportunity to deliver effective lifelong learning, widen opportunity and enable progression within current education and training frameworks. At all times, we are committed to providing a high quality, responsive service to all our centres and learners. Agored Cymru Qualifications: are charged at certification not at registration which means you pay for units achieved by learners not the units you register learners for; are available through the medium of Welsh, including certification; enable accreditation of continuing professional development (CPD), by unit, from qualifications where the whole qualification is not required; meet the needs of learners in Wales by developing qualifications that respond directly to the Welsh agenda; provide a range of flexible and responsive provision designed to help learners of every age and level achieve their potential; are designed to suit the needs and priorities of individuals, communities, employers and the national aims of a modern Wales; 3 recognise individual learner achievement by awarding units achieved even if learners did not complete the whole qualification.

4 Qualification Information Recognised centres are required to adhere to the quality assurance requirements (QA) of delivering these qualifications, or any unit(s) from these qualifications. The QA requirements, which may require assessors and/or internal verifiers to have specific competencies, can be found at the back of this qualification guide. Failure to comply with the QA requirements may result in your learners not being certificated and/or your centre losing recognition status. You will be notified of this when you add these qualifications or units from these qualifications to your framework. Qualification Overview The Level 3 Award and Level 4 Certificate in Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) aim to increase capacity within the support, training, delivery and teaching sectors. The award develops knowledge to validate relevant informal and non-formal learning for incorporating recognised quality assurance mechanisms. The certificate develops knowledge and skills to validate relevant informal and non-formal learning for incorporating recognised quality assurance mechanisms. The knowledge will underpin, while building trust in, the equivalence and acceptance of learning outside of the formal area to allow progression routes and entry to further learning opportunities for a wide range of individuals. RPL is recognised as having three clear areas of implementation, understanding the theories and policies that influence the application, formative assessment methods and their implementation and summative completion for formal achievement and progression. The award unit delivers the underpinning knowledge and theories supporting successful implementation of RPL. The additional units in the certificate support the CPD of deliverers to enable the embedding of best practice for the RPL process in a more coherent and standardised method, ensuring the quality for mobility is accepted and transferability of recognised learning and skills is available more widely across a variety of sectors. 4

5 Qualification Information Qualification Target Group The qualifications are intended for any learner practitioner requiring knowledge (award) and practical skills (certificate) for the successful implementation of the RPL process. Entry Requirements Learners must be: at least 16 years of age to achieve the award at least 18 years of age to achieve the certificate. Recognised Centres must: be recognised by Agored Cymru to operate under sector 13.1 to deliver this qualification. Delivery Languages This qualification is available in English and Welsh. If this qualification is required in other languages, please contact the Business Development team at Agored Cymru. Offering the Qualifications This qualification is only available through Agored Cymru recognised centres. If you would like to find out more about either becoming a recognised centre or working in partnership with a recognised centre, please access the join us area of the website or contact a member of the Business Development team for more information. Progression Opportunities The award to the certificate allows intra-progression and both qualifications have been designed to augment all teaching, training and supporting within the learning environment. 5

6 Qualification Information Access to Fair Assessment Agored Cymru has systems and procedures in place to ensure that assessment strategies for qualifications enable valid, reliable and consistent judgements to be made about the achievement of all learning outcomes against the stated assessment criteria. To ensure that inclusive assessment strategies are in place, that respond to individual learner needs, it may be necessary for centres to adapt assessments. Centres should consult the guidance within the Access to Fair Assessment Policy and Procedures (available within the centre handbook) which provides clear guidelines about the way in which reasonable adjustments and special considerations can be applied to Agored Cymru qualifications. All prescribed assessment methods are stated in the relevant unit. Where there is no prescribed assessment methodology stated, the deliverer should apply the method most suitable to the learners. The method should comply with the Access to Fair Assessment Policy and Procedures and must be confirmed via the internal verification process. Embedding Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship (ESDGC) Agored Cymru is committed to embedding ESDGC within learning activities in Wales. ESDGC recognises that everyone s actions are interlinked; that the decisions and lifestyles of learners impact on the lives of other people throughout the world. The integration of ESDGC within the curriculum offers opportunities for Learning and Development practitioners to present impartial and practical views that allow learners to make informed choices. ESDGC is not an additional subject ; it should be integrated into all areas of the curriculum wherever possible. There are seven interconnected key themes that have been identified within ESDGC: further information can be found on the Agored Cymru website. An indication about the opportunity each unit offers for embedding the different ESDGC themes is included in the unit. Please note that this is for guidance only and is not intended to restrict the ways in which ESDGC can be incorporated. 6
