Classes of Qualification

For the period 2001-2007 the Tariff relates to classes of legacy qualifications. They are mapped to the units of assessment in the New overarching professional standards for teachers, tutors and trainers. The Tariff does not map individually named qualifications from specific Awarding Institutions, unless specifically identified as such. Consequently any legacy qualification may go beyond the Tariff. However it is the responsibility of the Awarding Institution (HEIs and NABs) to justify and declare where their students should enter a post September 2007 programme in terms of advanced standing, or any Accreditation of Prior Achievement (APA) from legacy qualifications from that same awarding institution. The Tariff provides consistency of treatment for those students moving between awarding institutions.
