January 2008 – August 2008          Qualifications and Curriculum Authority

A pilot system was put in place during 2008 as part of the Sector Qualifications Reform Programme to provide Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) with a greater and more proactive role in vocational qualification development.

The research for this evaluation of the system included sixty-five individual face-to-face and telephone interviews with SSCs, Awarding Bodies, qualification regulators and other stakeholder, an on-line questionnaire and facilitating three consultation events attended by well over a hundred people.
