We identify the needs of learners and other interested parties and source and develop programmes to meet these needs. The rationale for providing QQI validated programmes and the associated financial, time and human resource costs are documented and are considered by the BOM and the QC before we proceed with programme development. We ensure that programme structures, training methodologies, materials, delivery, and assessment methodologies are designed to meet the needs of our potential learners, and is consistent with the QQI award, the community we serve and other stakeholders.
Programmes are designed to reflect the strands of the NFQ – i.e., knowledge, know-how and skills and competencies, and learning outcomes associated with the different levels. We have documented work placement procedures that include work placement guidelines that clearly articulate the roles and responsibilities of the work experience tutors, the learners on placement and workplace supervisors. We do not offer a programme leading to a QQI award to learners before it is validated by QQI. We provide those involved in the management, coordination, delivery and support of a programme with the most up-to-date validated programme documents.
"A programme of education and training is a process by which a learner acquires knowledge, skill or competence and includes a course of study, a course of instruction and an apprenticeship."
