Subject: RE: Learning and Teaching programmes and the NQF Following on from Rachel's comments (see below), we are currently exploring how we can run a workshop session to look at this issue at the ILT day conferences for Course leaders of ILT accredited programmes in May. I hope we will be able to run a suitable workshop session. If we can, details will be in the final programme. Please note that this seminar will also be open to course leaders of programmes that are not accredited by the ILT for a small fee.

Our programme is ILT accredited, but is not (yet) linked to a higher education qualification. I have talked to Caroline Bucklow at the ILT about this, and was informed that I am the first person so far to have asked for guidance on this issue. She suggested that if there is sufficient interest, a possible forum for discussion might be the ILT regional conferences. I have circulated a number of research-led HE institutions me and my impression is that only a few of these institutions have mapped their ILT accredited programmes against the HEQF level descriptors so far. Of these, most have gone for the M level descriptors, but one has gone for 'P' for Professional, because the 'M' level descriptors were perceived as being more appropriate for a programme of academic studies than for one relating to professional practice. NB 'P' does not figure in the QAA framework. I for one would certainly welcome more guidance.

One of the questions being asked of us is how we intend to map the programme onto the National Qualifications Framework and whether we intend to articulate it as a Graduate Certificate or as a Postgraduate Certificate. I wonder whether anyone else has already done this and also, whether there is an opportunity for HEDG, SEDA or ILT to convene a workshop to discuss the issues if not prepare a template - the time saved by not re-inventing the wheel across the sector would be enormous. I would be happy to participate in any such event etc. Best wishes Steve Outram - Co-Director The Learning Development Centre Staffordshire University College Road, Stoke-on-Trent,ST4 2XS Tel:01782 294808 Fax: 01782 295730
