Programme Delivery Partners Workplace Skills Plans and Pivotal grants
Four Kinds of Programmes
Programmes to Facilitate Access PIVOTAL programmes Skills programmes and other non accredited short courses Programmes that build the academic profession and engender innovation
Programmes to Facilitate Access Information and Career Guidance Recognition of Prior Learning Raising the Base
Pivotal programmes Pivotal Programmes are those Professional, Vocational, Technical and Academic learning programmes that meet the critical needs for economic growth and social development

Programmes that build the academic profession and engender innovation Educational Professionals development
QCTO APPROACH TO CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT The development need must be formalised through submission of application to QCTO To ensure no overlaps or duplications there will be a Structured development process using: QCTO-registered qualification design facilitator National Organising Progression Framework & OFO OFO occupational descriptors & OFO Unit group tasks
Process questions, templates and electronic capturing system
