Ian - I think there could be some crossed wires here. This specific
requirement for mutual recognition applies to national awarding bodies
offering the ESOL Skills for Life qualification. It does not constitute
a requirement for organisations to set up APL arrangements to
certificate this particular award.

I don't see how this can work for Universities. If someone applies to do
one module of a three module course and produces certification for two
prior modules from another awarding body are we obliged to admit them to
a course and on completion of the final module award them a Diploma. As
I understand it most universities only permit APL|APEL for up to 50% of
any award. 
Therefore if we refuse entry to someone seeking 66% APEL LLUK/SVUK will
refuse to endorse the university concerned. 
 
Have I understood this correctly?

Does this mean that on completion of all modes  a full SFL certificate
can be delivred by the latest awarding body which recognises prior
achievement of units (evidenced by a copy of the certificate of course),
more or less as what happens with the Reading test at L1/L2?

Info for the network -sure this will be welcomed

Following a recent QCA meeting where this issue was raised we have been
notified that:

"QCA's requirement is that all awarding bodies offering the ESOL Skills
for Life qualifications must recognise prior achievement of the
qualification at unit (mode) level where this has been completed with
another awarding body. 
Where a candidate is able to show evidence of having already completed a
unit of  this qualification, the candidate should not be disadvantaged
by a requirement  to complete a unit of the same title and level with
another awarding body. On  completion of a unit of an accredited
qualification, a candidate is entitled to  request and receive unit
certification from the awarding body".
