CILIP Authority File: Pre-degree qualifications
MMU and NoWAL (North West Academic Libraries) are currently working on a project to
accompany the introduction of the CILIP Framework of qualifications which proposes a new
certification scheme for paraprofessional staff. Current information on training provision
to support this level of membership is fragmented. To address this, CILIP aims to develop
an in-house information resource on training provision. This will initially form the key
source of advice and guidance for colleagues considering the certification route.
The aim of this project is to collate information on current provision of accredited
courses (at NVQ levels 2&3 or equivalent), related professional qualifications and other
work-based training/development. In order to assist us with this please could you take a
moment to answer the following questions (I can provide a word version if that is easier
to fill in or if you would prefer to talk to me please give me a call - my number is at
the bottom of this e-mail).
Please reply directly to me not to the list.
Thank you for your help.
