Approved changes to qualifications

As part of our ongoing maintenance of qualifications, centres can suggest alterations to qualification frameworks via the DAVAL 2 form.  Throughout 2024-25, we received four change requests to our qualifications. These requests were considered, and approved, at our annual QST meeting, which was held in early May. The changes have been actioned and the updated frameworks will be available from August 2025. Please see below for details of the changes:
