Some learners will be able to achieve these units in a shorter time, other learners, particularly those with additional support requirements will take much longer. 1.4 Funding For information regarding potential sources of funding please visit the following websites; The Education Funding Agency The Skills Funding Agency or, contact your local funding office. 1.5 Achievement methodology The qualification will be awarded to learners who successfully achieve an approved combination of units through a Portfolio of Evidence that has been successfully verified and monitored through Gateway Qualifications Quality Assurance process. Achievement is therefore determined by successful completion of unit assessment with no further requirement for additional/summative assessment.
