Qualification decision

Is this the right qualification for your provider?

New provider suitability: Cautious unless the provider already has the relevant staff, facilities, and practical access. Established provider suitability: Stronger, especially where the provider already delivers in manufacturing, production, repair, or technical service. Facility pressure: Facilities should support practical production, repair, assembly, inspection, storage, safety, and learner supervision. Equipment pressure: Equipment should be mapped to the tasks learners must practise, including tools, materials, PPE, devices, machines, test equipment, or consumables. Staff pressure: Staff should have current production, repair, maintenance, inspection, or technical service experience. Workplace/practical pressure: Workplace exposure should connect learners to real production, repair, inspection, testing, service, or quality-control tasks.
