Plan for 2023-24

Researchers We will continue to support the Scottish Government with regards to the Modern Apprenticeship Programme, as well as supporting the Standards and Frameworks programme, by offering advice and guidance on continual improvement with particular focus on commissioning, quality assurance systems and processes.

We will conclude our review of the SVQ brand. We will publish the outcomes of our phase two consultation and will share how we propose to proceed with improvements to the SVQ brand.

We will conduct provider monitoring activity in relation to the implementation and support provided by awarding bodies for the new qualifications developed by the Technical Expert Group (TEG) Process. This is to ensure that the transition to the new qualifications being developed are appropriate for learners and employers.

We will also be carrying out some internal work to look at our regulatory strategy.
We will work with Scottish Government officials as they seek to determine what activities our function should deliver as part of the education reform programme. Once the scope of our function is known, we will commence work to ensure that we have the appropriate resources, processes and systems in place so that we can seamlessly transform into our new responsibilities.
