Consultation description

The aim of the post-16 qualifications review is to streamline the complex qualifications landscape, creating clear choices for young people and adults. We want to ensure that every qualification approved for public funding:

  • is high quality
  • has a distinct purpose
  • supports progression to positive outcomes

In 2020 to 2021 we ran a call for evidence on post-16 level 2 and below study and qualifications in England. This explored what is working well and what more could be done to support students.

This consultation now sets out our detailed proposals to reform level 2 and below qualifications and seeks views on the groups of qualifications we propose should continue to receive public funding.

A list of level 2 ICT user and related qualifications (including functional skills qualifications) with removed funding approval from 1 August 2022, and associated guidance is also available.
