Accreditation
and Certification
All teachers in the programme will be offered the opportunity
to have their development accredited by the most appropriate agency
of accreditation. For some this will be accreditation of ICT skills
development through structures such as the Cambridge IT certificate,
the JEB qualification or the NVQ framework. Other accreditation
systems are being investigated by partnership members.
Costs
and Addition of Value
Costs of accreditation will be met by the partnership where added
value can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the appropriate
funding regime, which will act in turn as a source of funding
for the extra work undertaken in providing accreditation.
Progression
to other programmes and CAT schemes and APEL in further and higher
qualifications will be discussed as a matter of course with teachers.
Specific
modules are being designed for University of Wales Diploma and
Masters level qualifications to which the programme will contribute.
Additional
Equipment and Access to Additional Features
All teachers undertaking accredited work will be given access
to equipment and facilities at the partners' sites across the
locality. The partnership will liaise with the Local Authorities
in their roll-out of the National Grid for Learning to ensure
access to appropriate technology throughout the programme.
