Validation of HNC Esports
Regular readers will know that we’ve been developing HNC Esports for some time. The development commenced last Autumn and is nearing completion.
The final stage in the qualification development process is validation. This will take place on Tuesday, 24 June, when an independent panel of experts will scrutinise the qualification. The validation panel comprises educators, employers, representatives of universities and others with an interest in the field. The Qualification Development Team (QDT) is represented by myself (Qualifications Manager), Helen (Qualifications Officer) and the lead developer.
The outcome of validation normally means that some changes are made to the qualification but I’m confident that the award will be available to centres from August.
The validation of units is a separate process. Most (7 out of 9) of the units have been through validation. Some exciting new units have been produced as part of this development including: Esports: Foundation, Esports: Game Performance, Esports: Tournament Organisation and Professional Practice in Esports.
Please contact Emma if you want to know more about this new qualification. I’ll keep you posted about the outcome of validation as soon as I know.
