Insights from Diploma pathfinders

In 2006, eight 14-19 Diploma 'pathfinders' were commissioned by the QCA to explore different aspects of the infrastructure needed to deliver Diplomas.

Using a range of existing qualifications, the eight 'pathfinders' trialled ways of working that tested the Diploma concept. This included teaching, logistics and working in partnership.

The written report of the findings can be downloaded from the QCA website.

Three of the Diploma pathfinders also share their insights on videos which can be downloaded from the QCA website.
