PDAs in Software Development

I’m pleased to announce that we will be developing a suite of awards in software development. These new qualifications will be Professional Development Awards (PDAs) at SCQF Levels 7, 8 and 9. The working title of the qualifications will be:

PDA in Software Development at SCQF Levels 7, 8 and 9.

The business case was recently approved so I am now in a position to begin this development. The qualifications will focus on programming skills to address the skills shortage in this area. The initial idea is for them to be around six credits in size (half the size of an HNC) and for the awards to be hierarchical (identical structures at each Level).

The first stage in the process is to form a Qualification Development Team (QDT). Please contact Caroline if you are interested in joining the QDT. We’re looking for members from education, industry, professional bodies and other special interest groups.

I hope to have these new qualifications available to centres from January 2016.
