To help our centres in England plan their current or future curriculums, we’ve updated our Curriculum Planning Guide for the next academic year. It covers: 

• The post-16 reforms  
• Popular full-time qualifications in England
• Engineering & Manufacturing and Construction & Building Services T Levels  
• Qualifications supported by current Adult Skills Fund   
• Apprenticeship & Occupational Qualifications 2025 
• Adult (19+) qualifications developed in response to reforms   
• EAL Approved – independent accreditation for unregulated courses

Responding to reform 

The new government has announced additional reviews, on top of the current qualification reform timetable in England. With the government’s emphasis on skills, and vocational training in particular, we expect that there is more change to come. It’s important our customers know that we are here to support them and understand the changes and their wider impact.  

We have created a new webpage to share any updates related to qualification reform and will share any updates via our blog and newsletter. 

We understand these changes will be a cause for concern. Our team is here to clarify the reforms and help you plan for the years ahead.
