Good Qualification Guide

The Good Qualifications Guide lists the qualifications employers have told us that they value the most when they recruit and train their staff. Using the guide you can search for the most relevant qualifications identified for each sector occupation. It also helps show the most relevant progression routes from school to university and across the sector.

Through extensive research with the industry, employers often complain that the qualification and funding system is too complicated. It is, so what we have done through the Good Qualifications Guide is to cut through the jargon and present the key facts in plain English for each qualification.

For each qualification you can find:

An explanation about what the qualification aims to do

It’s broad content

Which colleges and commercial providers are delivering the qualification

Whether funding is available and how to access it

People1st is committed to work on behalf of employers to ensure that the qualification system available to the sector is simple and flexible. The Guide will be constantly updated to reflect these changes. If you want to know more about what we are doing to reform the qualifications system click here.
